I'm trying to install CentOS 7 on HP Envy x360 laptop.
However, as soon as the 'Done' is clicked in the 'Partition Definition' stage, the installation is aborted with the following messages. Unknown Error Unknown Error - debug

How to recreate:

  • Complete the Windows 10 installation
  • Create an installation USB containing RHEL 7.8 DVD ISO image
  • Boot the HP Envy x360 laptop and press F10 to get to the boot menu
  • Set the USB to be the first boot device
  • Insert the RHEL 7.8 Installation USB into a USB port on the HP laptop
  • Power off/on the laptop
  • Choose English as language and click on 'Done'
  • Choose 'Define Partitions' and click 'Done'

at this stage the installation bombs.

Note: The exact same behaviour occurs when trying to install RHEL 7.6/7.8 and CentOS 7.6

Solution:
Seems the CentOS got confused with the NTFS partition on which Windows 10 is installed.
When I told the CentOS installation to clobber the unknown (i.e. NTFS) partition, the installation went ahead without a hitch.
