I enabled the CR repo and did the yum update. Some 800+ rpms were offered and all seemed to resolve depenancies OK, so yes it was started. The updates completed and all looked good, until the reboot.
I got a similar disaster here. I guess the lesson to be learned is that CR is nice to have on servers, but don't use it on desktops.
My question is what will change with the final release of 7.6? I thought the CR repo usually holds all updates with the exception of centos-release, or are there more updates to come? I had the impression that in the past, the final release brought only cosmetic changes with the centos-release being updated.
I've seen zero problems on Desktops I've installed CR on.
If CR has issues, as you say you'd expect 7.6 to have problems. If things are failing with CR updates, you really want to investigate what's going on.
The mentioned problem could be related to the nvidia packages ... such cases (transition to 7.6) were discussed on ELrepo's list.
