getting this message trying to install CentOS 8: [ 12.8027081] dracut-pre-udev[439]: modprobe: FATAL: Module floppy not found ....

Hi,
I'm trying to install Cent OS 8 in a Dell inspiron 1525.
What at the end of the day I want to accomplish is having two Linux distros in the Dell Inspiron 1525
I already managed to install Ubuntu and now I'm trying to install CentOS, nevertheless as soon as I boot the computer using the usb drive with the CentOS 8 media I'm getting several messages and the GUI installation never shows up.
The very first message I get once the boot process has started is the one I wrote on the subject of this thread.
[ 12.8027081] dracut-pre-udev[439]: modprobe: FATAL: Module floppy not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.0-147.el8.x86_64 (which is it's weird to me given that the Dell Inspiron 1525 has no floppy drive.
the next one is
[ 14.145870] dracut-pre-udev[439]: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'sha256_mb': No such device
Then many messages with [OK] prefix and at the end of those messages, many messages of the kind
[xxx.xxxxxxx] dracut - initqueue [878]: Warning:dracut - initquee timeout - starting timeout scripts
then the last [OK] prefix message is that Virtual Console is started, and finally the dracut:# message.
What can I do next ?
Thanks in advance
