Hi,

Centos 7.4 installer doesn't boot, after loading kernel and initramfs it dies with a timeout that it can't mount root.

@antonym commented on GitHub (May 10, 2018):

It worked for me using Virtual Box, anything unique about your networking? If it's a VM, does it have enough memory, etc? It's trying to load the installer rootfs at that point, so during the kernel boot up it attempts to light up a NIC, get an address and retrieve the image. It looks like in your case it's not getting to that point.
