Tell me please.
I'm trying to install centos 7 on a mac mini 2006
1. Installed rEFIt
2. Burned a flash drive and plugged it in
3. After rebooting, I selected Boot EFI\BOOT\grubia32.efi FROM CENTOS 7 X8
4. I selected Install CentOS 7
5. I immediately get a blank screen with the cursor, nothing happens. capslock and numlock are not pressed
What am I doing wrong? Maybe some options for debugging can be configured?

Looks like a very old computer.
It turned out to install using
rEFInd Boot Manager and Ubuntu server 16.04.5 LTS, the higher version is not installed
centos 7 the same did not pull
UPD: after several hours of installation and several hours of configuration, it turned out that mac mini late 2006 does not work without a monitor, although I hope to put a plug or solder a resistor. Be careful :-)
