Hello. Could you please try CentOS 8.5 on the same system?
We have to find out if this is upstream regression or AlmaLinux specific bug.

We tried RockyLinux 8.5 and RHEL8.5 - same symptoms, problem is most likely in kernel configuration difference between 4.18-240 (which was used in 8.3 release and 4.18-348 (8.5 correspondingly). The paradox is, that to report problem upstream we have to have paid subscription.

Then the best option is to check it on CentOS Stream 8 iso:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/isos/

If it works then most likely it will work with 8.6.
If not then you should report to CentOS Stream bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux%208&version=CentOS%20Stream

BTW do you need graphics after install?
You can either install in text mode or start with AlmaLinux 8.3 and then upgrade it to 8.5.

@aklymov

You can report RHEL-related problems upstream (Red Hat) without paid subscription. Just create an account at bugzilla.redhat.com and file a report.

aklymov could you confirm that video works on 8.6?
