Kernel Boot Issues
Hello,
I run CentOS release 6.10 (Final) on a Dell Inspiron M6700.
2.6.32-754.el6.x86_64 boots, and is whaat I am running now
none of these, updated ones, won’t boot:
2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64
2.6.32-754.6.3.el6.x86_64
2.6.32-754.9.1.el6.x86_64
2.6.32-754.10.1.el6.x86_64
They all show the same ‘symptom’, grub says it is booting that kernel, screen blanks, solid corned in the left-top corner… and that’s whee it stays.
I know this is vague, but any ideas?
thanks,
Ron

You should remove the ‘rhgb quiet’ from the grub kernel line, to get a better idea of what it’s actually doing.
Any chance you’re using a 3rd-party drivers for the video card?

I did that, it does nothing really.
I read in a forum, to use the kernel options: nefi noclflush
(https://bugs.CentOS.org/view.php?id=15186)
That helps somewhat but when gnome/xorg starts, it again hangs/freezes the background shows on one monitor, but that’s about it

Hello Ed,
I tried that, for 2-3 newer kernels, didn’t work (I actually posted that link here yesterday or so).
btw: I haave the same problem with CentOS/RHEL 7 kernels (as well as 6
ones).
You’d think there must be some kernel option to dodge the problem, so far no luck.)
