Hi,

Anyone else having problems with kernel 3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64?

After my yum update today a reboot hung. A quick look at the Xorg.0.log shows two of my graphics cards appear to be working okay but the third one (I have two nvidia cards with a monitor each and then use the inbuilt intel one for the third monitor) gives:

<cut>

So a reboot to kernel 3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64 and all is well.

First step was to change the EFI bios and disable the onboard video - once this was done I rebooted and the two nvidia cards (nouveau driver) came up just fine and I am writing this from the now working system.

Problem is - I want to have my third monitor work as previously. What steps should I take to determine the problem. I checked RH reported faults for this kernel and someone had a xorg problem but in their case it was nouveau not booting - the suggested step of adding nouveau.modeset=0 to the boot was tried but as expected made no difference to my situation. It is my onboard intel that appears to have a driver that needs or received an invalid argument.

Any help appreciated

I note that the update also updated :

Updated xorg-x11-drv-ati-18.0.1-1.el7.x86_64 @base     Update 18.1.0-1.el7_6.x86_64                        @updates     Updated xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.1-5.1.el7.x86_64 @updates     Update 1.20.1-5.2.el7_6.x86_64                  @updates     Updated xorg-x11-server-common-1.20.1-5.1.el7.x86_64 @updates     Update 1.20.1-5.2.el7_6.x86_64                @updates

Before I start trying to solve this by myself, just wanted to see if anyone else has had issues.

TIA

Rob
