If I use a secondary graphics card then the process completes with no problems and CentOS boots from the system disk error free. The server uses AST2500 graphics as standard. This seems to be the problem. What I need is an iso file that I can load during the initial boot process. I have tried various grub options and they don?t work. The reason that I am trying CentOS 6.9 is that many people have applications which will only run on CentOS 6.*....

CentOS 6.9 has support for the Haswell processor which is a subset of the Skylake. All Skylake server ancillary components work perfectly with CentOS 6.9.

To make it work an ancillary graphics card is required which is less than $100. This will not break the bank. Regards, Mark Woolfson MW Consultancy Ltd Leeds LS18 4LY United K...

Hello, There was a support issue with the Intel Skylake and CentOS 6.* where the graphics hardware was not supported. Intel have now come up with a software solution to support the AST2500 graphics hardware on the Skylake.
