I upgraded from 7.3 to 7.4 over the weekend. Everything went well except that I can't login because the screen is black with a cursor.
If reboot boot the 7.3 kernel 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64 kernel everything works just fine, so my guess is that there's a kernel issue with the hardware, specifically the Skylake processor.
Has anyone else run into this problem and if so can how I resolve the problem other than using the previous kernel?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

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.
Pete and others,
I am still having some 7.4 problems. 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
Greg, Look although you are using a different mobo, you are experiencing the same problems that I ran into. At one point I managed to get a graphical display but at the resolution was extremely low 800x640 I believe, and no way to change it because it didn't look like the kernel recognized the monitor at all.
I just took a stab at a card figuring that no one else seemed to be having issues. I don't do anything graphically intensive so I just looked for what I thought was a good deal , and this card looked like a good deal, with a $10 rebate

Pete,
Thanks much, The machine I am preparing will be for video conferencing so that card should be fine. I ordered one from Newegg.... Thanks again.
Sure hope 7.4 gets fixed; I stopped doing any additional updates.
