Unable to install RedHat 8.5

Hello, i try to install RedHat 8.5 (rhel-8.5-aarch64-boot), but after the boot the installation doesn't start. The system stay on the installation menu. I try to change SE type (fedora, other..) but unable to install. Is it possible to install RedHat on Tech Preview?

I try also to install rhel-baseos-9.0-beta-0-aarch64-boot, the boot start and i have a blank screen, installation don't start, my screen stay black.

Thank's for your answers.

RHEL on arm64 uses a 64k page size kernel AFAIK, and this is not supported by M1, so you have to use an altered kernel instead of the default one shipped with RHEL.

If you’re looking at the RHEL9 beta, use the beta update 2 or 3 binary DVD downloads. The original beta release has difficulties installing on the Tech Preview without a series of manual magic incantations.
