I just got a Lenovo G50-30 and tried loading the CentOS 7 LiveCD on it. It stops on a gray screen with a flashing cursor. I tried waiting for a while and pressing keys, but nothing seemed to happen. I then tried the CentOS 6.5 LiveCD (I couldn't find a LiveCD for 6.6) and it worked just fine. I would like to be able to use CentOS 7, so is there any way for me to get access to the logs or any other info that would be helpful for figuring out what the problem with CentOS 7 is? Thanks, Dave

I downloaded the install DVD and tried that. It printed "psmouse serio1: elantech: unknown hardware version, aborting..." and stopped. I'm guessing that's what the "aborting..." means. I also found this bugzilla against Fedora ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=969473 ), so is there any way around this (like would the net install potentially work)? Or do I just need to wait until RHEL/CentOS 7.1 is released and hope that support is fixed?
Also, should I open a bugzilla against RHEL or a bug against CentOS?
Thanks, Dave
