CentOS 6.10 Boot Xorg Issues With Kernels 2.6.32-754
Hello,
Ever since I updated my CentOS 6 machine from 6.9 to 6.10 Xorg will not start with the 2.6.32-754 kernels. Instead the computer will reboot. This issue does not exist with the 2.6.32-696.30.1 kernel from CentOS 6.9 that I
still have on my system.
Has anyone else encountered this issue, and if so, how did you rectify it?
Thank you for any help.

Brian, There is a kernel bug that seems to affect systems with older Intel processors. I have a Dell Laptop that on bootup of kernel 2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64 will display a white square in the upper left corner of the screen and halt. If I roll back to the 2.6.32-696.30.1.el6.x86_64 version kernel all is well. More info at

Thank you for your reply, Ed.
Do you know if this issue affects CentOS 7.5 and kernels 3.10.0-862?
I’m thinking of upgrading to 7.5 in order to support a meteorological project I’m working on.

Brian,
Sorry, I’m only running CentOS 6. I don’t know.
