Any chance you?re using a 3rd-party drivers for the video card? -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
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 Ron On 1/29/19 7:02 PM, Jonathan Billings wrote:> On Jan 29, 2019, at 8:08 PM, RC <cjvijf at gmail.com> wrote: >> 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? > > 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? > > -- > Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org> > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I get a solid white rectangle in the upper left corner at boot. See the link below for suggested work arounds. I have not tried them yet so if you get one of the workarounds to work please let me know. https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15186# Hope that helps, Ed
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.)
