Sadly, ;sync has not solved my issue.

I would try, first, just selecting one of your 2 disk drives in the installer GUI so that it installs to only one drive.

If that doesn't work then I'd try resetting all BIOS settings to their defaults and then just setting the things that you need to change.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

I wanted to add that there is a very specific BIOS set up for DELL machines that seems to be the source of my problems.

By following the Dell Ubuntu BIOS setup instructions below, I have been able to boot my Dell in Centos 7.9 & Rocky.

For me, the BIOS setup in the first half of the article was sufficient to unblock my issue.
