It should work well with new devices: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/experimental/ (Both i386 and x86_64 have the 4.4.x LTS kernel) For CentOS 6, there are the ELRepo kernels (ML and LT): http://elrepo.org/linux/kernel/el6/ and the xen kernel: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/virt/x86_64/ Thanks, Johnny Hughes Thanks, Johnny HUghes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

E3-1245 v5 running C7 gave no bother other than that it didn't support the graphics chipset (so vesa only). Bobbed in an nvidia card, and no issues reported. jh

In fact, Brian Stinson may have an installer that uses the 4.4.x kernel for IoT boards, which we might be able to share if there are major issues that can't be solved with the above ISOs. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
