So in an effort to narrow down the problem I also have an old Samsung laptop
- i5 with an nvidia card - all up-to-date 7.5 - I thought I would try a more
conservative upgrade approach.
first updated to the CR kernel with yum upgrade kernel*
then after successful reboot did an update to gdm* and gnome*
another reboot and all is well
then update of xorg* (only 20 files)
Now it will not boot - keyboard is non responsive so cannot even do a Ctrl
Alt F2 to access a shell. Old kernel is also non boot. Left this machine for
now and back to my main desktop workstation.
Where does it stop booting? Can you remove 'rhgb quiet' from the
kernel command line and see how it is booting? Also, are you using
UEFI boot or the old BIOS boot?
on the laptop it seems I have the Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1650634
problem. It is bios boot.
My workstation has UEFI boot, but it has now been clean installed with
7.5 and until there is a fix to the above bugzilla i'll hold off on
doing much other than update the kernel.
Thanks for response, i will use the removal of rhgb quiet.
I will wait until 7.6 is officially released, watch the list for a week or
two and then with much fear and trepidation give it a go. <sad face>
7.6 has been released, so you should expect these packages to start
arriving on all your CentOS 7 systems.
