Comment 2 Ben McMonagle 2018-11-23 03:30:35 CET 
the problem also occurs if the new M7 classical installer x86-64 .iso is placed on hdd and the non-free net-installer is used to initiate the install and utilize the on HDD .iso.

If the .iso is burnt to optical media, the install proceeds without the issue.

Likely a missing hid driver.
I've added quite a lot of them in drakx-installer-images-2.54
Could you try latest net install?
