Thanks Akemi. Now, after a new fresh install of CentOS and this kernel, the laptop boot properly and when the laptop hibernate after closing the screen the restart is fast and efficient. I also notice a very faster network with these new drivers!

install this application the problem come back as with previous kernel. Mays be hibernation it is not supported with virtualbox and the modules it adds…
