Hi Richard,

I fully agree with what Chris said in [BlueOnyx:24041].

Other than that: Try to install CentOS 8 from the official ISO and see
if that works for you. Depending on how that goes it gives us
indications if the issue is with the 5210R installer or if it's a
general CentOS 8 issue.

The 5210R ISO is somewhat "special" in so far that I had to make a lot
of concessions and hacks due to the absence of a properly documented and
replicable method of how EL8 ISO's are supposed to be build.

If the install of CentOS 8 with the official ISO works, you can still
install BlueOnyx this way: https://www.blueonyx.it/5210r-manual-install

And then there is also the option to use Aventurin{e} 6109R (the 1 VPS
version is free) and to then simply create a 5210R VPS on it. The only
downside to that is that you'll need at least two IP's: One for the
Aventurin{e} node and one for (each) VPS.
