I did that, it does nothing really.

I read in a forum, to use the kernel options: nefi noclflush

(https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15186)

That helps somewhat but when gnome/xorg starts, it again hangs/freezes the background shows on one monitor, but that's about it

none of these, updated ones, won't boot:

2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64

2.6.32-754.6.3.el6.x86_64

2.6.32-754.9.1.el6.x86_64

2.6.32-754.10.1.el6.x86_64

They all show the same 'symptom', grub says it is booting that kernel, screen blanks, solid corned in the left-top corner... and that's whee it stays.

I know this is vague, but any ideas?

You should remove the ‘rhgb quiet’ from the grub kernel line, to get a better idea of what it’s actually doing.

Any chance you’re using a 3rd-party drivers for the video card?

Hello Ed,

I tried that, for 2-3 newer kernels, didn't work (I actually posted that link here yesterday or so).

btw:  I haave the same problem with Centos/RHEL 7 kernels (as well as 6 ones).

You'd think there must be some kernel option to dodge the problem, so far no luck.)

Hello Ron,

I have the same problem on a Dell Latitude E6430 laptop running CentOS 6.10. I get a solid white rectangle in the upper left corner at boot. See the link below for suggested work arounds. I have not tried them yet so if you get one of the workarounds to work please let me know.

Hope that helps, Ed
