Perhaps even related to this issue: https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=693 which kmod-nvidia do you have? At the bottom of 693, pperry indicates: "kmod-nvidia-367.57-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64 is for EL7.3". Even when this disclaimer is not here: I am not a contracting officer. I do not have authority to make or modify the terms of any contract.

Xen-4.4 branch End of Life
by Johnny Hughes 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

The CentOS VIrtualization Special Interest Group wants to remind everyone that the End of Life for the Xen-4.4 branch (currently 4.4.4-19) will be March 31st, 2017. This is because the Xen Project will no longer support Xen-4.4 after that date, based on this link: https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Release_Features Xen-4.6 is still available and will be maintained until October 2018 (on both CentOS-6 and CentOS-7) and Xen-4.8 will be available soon. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Nvidia related kernel panic on boot, *unless* the keyboard is tapped
by Duncan Brown 01 Mar '17

So here is an odd one Ever since the upgrade to 7.3, when using the el-repo kmod-nvidia, boot hangs around the 'mounted /boot' point. If left it then kernel panics However at that point, tapping the keyboard gets it going again. As I'm using a wireless keyboard, even the act of switching the keyboard on gets it going again This doesn't happen without the kmod, and I'm in the process of capturing the panic to file the bug report with el-repo, but for the sake of conversation has anyone seen anything like this before, or have any idea why that could happen? cheers Dunc
