Pete -------------------------------------------------------------------- Pete, I have had various assortment of problems with 7.4 to the point that I quit upgrading the rest of our PC's with 7.4 until the problems are identified and fixed. The only work around that I could come up with is to use the last 7.3 os which at least made each unit usable. As you know, most of the time these upgrades have been seamless because the Centos team has done a wonderful job. However, the upgrade to 7.4 has some problems, and I decided to stop the upgrade of our remaining units until 7.4 works as well as 7.3. Greg

Is HP going to update their software, or is RH going to fix this?> ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.

This is the first one that has a problem and after some experimenting it looks like the kernel is identifying both the analog and digital ports and making the digital display the primary.? I use a KVM switch and needless to say it's a royal pain to have to switch back and forth to accommodate this one host.? Like you I settled on using th3 previous perfectly working 7.3 kernel, not optimum but it does work. I've also decided to get a graphics card in lieu of the on-board graphics card in the hope that that will solve the issue with the 7.4 kernel. Agreed you do get used to these upgrades working seamlessly and it's a bummer when occasionally things don't work out exactly as planned.

[CentOS] SOLVED upgrade or install to Centos 7.4.1708
After trying the suggestions offered here and various other suggestions that I found through various searches I finally solved the problem by ditching the on board graphics and installing a graphics card.

I just finished a fresh install of 7.4 on an ASUS motherboard of which Centos now does not recognize the video monitor. I was required to do a 'Basic Graphic' install instead of a full graphic install with the new 7.4 iso. After a successful install I tried to change the resolution of the screen display but Centos was unable to do so because it did not recognize the monitor. This was not a problem with 7.3. The Mother board is : Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Product Name: B150M-A/M.2 Version: Rev X.0x The CPU is : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz It does not appear that Centos is recognizing the capability of the mother board. Does anyone have ideas as to a solution for this. I am not certain even buying a video card would make a difference. Pete... what card did you purchase that worked??? Greg
