After installing and enabling the centos-release-cr repo on my CentOS 7.1 laptop; I ran yum clean all and yum update. Yum complained about gstreamer1 dependencies that is caused by epel repo; therefore, I excluded it from the epel repo and run yum update one more time and it went through. After the update was completed I rebooted the laptop and I will just get the splash screen but will never get to the actual login screen; I have experienced this in the past from CentOS 7.0 to 7.1 upgrade and at that time it was caused by SELinux relabeling some of the configuration files; e.g. /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. This was discovered after I went into single user mode and checked the journal. I booted in the previous successful kernel that loaded and I experienced the same behavior; therefore I went into single user mode from the latest kernel that came with CentOS 7.2 and the previous kernel, checked the journal and there were no errors that give me a hint of what is going wrong. There are no SELinux relabeling but I left the laptop on for a few hours because I was modifying a few directories to accommodate docker and KVM storage from the default setup. Any pointers on how to get the login screen? Thanks in advance. -- Kind Regards Earl Ramirez

Especially for the EPEL stuff. -- LF

There's a missing dependency there in the RPMs, but to be honest that's not at all uncommon. I'd never recommend a partial update over a point release. jh
