Hello, I would like to install CentOS 7.3 on my new Lenovo M900 machine. I am using the official 1 DVD installer. The installation process was fine without any error but after reboot the USB keyboard and the USB mouse did not work. Therefore I was not able to type anything or pass the first boot screen. Only the power button is working. Any idea why? I believe the installation media is using the

...tOS. You can also try the mainline version of Pale Moon if you want 64-bit. http://linux.palemoon.org/ It uses gtk2, but I don't know if it's compatible with other old libraries that CentOS 6 uses.

Anyone have any clues for a workaround fix? mark
