      Using Minimal ISO from http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1708.iso

      This is a UEFI install on an F28 host.
      The install will not complete (see image below).
      I have tried on 2 hosts.

      Anyone have an F28 host they can try on?

          I believe he is trying to set up a new host server to run KVM.... Just guessing.

            I think KVM is already there with F28, C7 is just the guest, I think.

              Yes, F28 is the host.
              CentOS 7 is the guest vm.

                    I've tried using virt-install and it still locks up.

                    sudo virt-install --name centos7-uefi \
   --ram 2048 --disk size=20 \
   --boot uefi \
   --location http://mirror.sigmanet.com/centos/7/os/x86_64/

                      Thanks for confirming.
                      F28 as a UEFI vm works fine.

                        On Hyper-V I always setup as Gen2 which is UEFI also. I do recall various problems with some CentOS installs though a few years ago. Cannot recall clearly though. Most are Gen2, so I obviously figured out whatever I was doing wrong back then.

                            Oh I forget to turn that off about 50% of the time when I make a new VM.

                            But no, I mean I had some various other issues, but cannot recall.

                                It would be awesome that they add an option under generation 2 when creating the VM using Hyper-V Manager.

                                  @black3dynamite I already have a habit of un-checking "Secure Boot" after I create the VM.
