Hello,

Is the Intel Celeron J5005 processor supported on CentOS 6.8.

If not, is there a CentOS version which supports this processor.

  • The J5005 is a 64-bit Intel CPU launched in Q4 2017, yes, CentOS 6, 7
    and 8 should support it. You might have other hardware in the system that won’t be supported in some releases, but the CPU is not likely to be an issue.

    The J5005 isn’t a Celeron though. The J4005 is, but it also is a
    64-bit CPU so it should be ok.

    But CentOS 6.8 isn’t supported anymore. Try the supported release, CentOS 6.10.

  • Hi Mark, we can do some checks …
    [ starting from https://wiki.CentOS.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.8 ]

    1. No versions of CentOS 6 will work with Secure Boot turned on. Secure Boot must be disabled to install CentOS 6. Take a look at CentOS Bug #6321
    2. On Intel (and also AMD based) processor architectures, CentOS 6
    requires PAE support for 32-bit x86 chips, following the upstream’s requirement
    3. Content for both the i386 and x86_64 architectures is split into two DVDs. All basic server and basic desktop installs only from DVD-1

    Looking at the CPU HW specs it’s a 64 bit (x86 compatible) CPU … https://ark.intel.com/it/products/128984/Intel-Pentium-Silver-J5005-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-2-80-GHz-

    it seems that your Intel processor is supported by CentOS 6.x (and also 7 and 8…)

    CentOS 6.8 is quite OLD, so why don’t you try at least the 6.10 release?

    Have you got any issue installing/using that?

    Give us some evidence of the problem you have so we can help specifically on that item

    Cheers, Fleur
