There are a couple other options from this page you should try, when
installing CentOS7:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/chap-anaconda-boot-options.html

inst.xdriver=fbdev

or 

inst.usefbx

This will use the Framebuffer driver instead of whatever driver the
installer is trying to load that then crashes.  

You could also use VNC, although apparently that's abhorrent.
