Problems With Kernel-3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64
Everyone,
I have two desktop units with : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz that do not allow the login screen to appear after the update of :
kernel-3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64 and kernel-3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64
Both of these units worked properly with kernel.x86_64 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7
I am not sufficiently familiar with grub to know if the problem is related to grub or related to the kernel. I have been able to boot the machines by the use of kernel.x86_64 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.
When using kernel-3.10.0-693 the login screen is blank and the login prompt is missing, however each machine is accessible via the terminal interface, or remotely with ssh.
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Greg

What is your video card.

Johnny,
Thanks for your help!!!
On each of these units I am using the video from the mother board which is :
Base Board Information
Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
Product Name: B150M-A/M.2
Version: Rev X.0x
Serial Number: 160983250602009
Asset Tag: Default string
Features:
Board is a hosting board
Board is replaceable
Location In Chassis: Default string
Chassis Handle: 0x0003
Type: Motherboard
Contained Object Handles: 0
I was hoping that I did not need to put a video card in these units, but this would certainly be a solution.

what CPU are you using? any onboard video with the B150 chipset is coming from the CPU itself.

John,
Thanks for your help.
Sorry, I thought I posted that earlier, but it is :

OK .. if you run this as root, it will tell you what the actual video card is what what driver and/or kernel module is in use:
for card in $(lspci | grep ‘ VGA ‘ | cut -d” ” -f 1); do \
lspci -v -s $card; done

With that info, you can troubleshoot the specific driver or kernel module.
