Then test booting on the rpi3b+ ? Pointing a .repo file to https://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/arm-kernels/raspberrypi2/ should bring you to 4.8.80 kernel and updated firmware Raw pkgs are there : https://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/arm-kernels/raspberrypi2/20180315125718/4.9.80-v7.1.el7.armhfp/ Worth noting that it seems rpi foundation bumped kernel to 4.14.x but continue to maintain the 4.9 lts branch, as last commits show backports for rpi3b model : https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/commit/eb7b3df1fd5dfa4645da2986ffb6d9ca5ccdebda That's the one that was used to build the 4.9.80 pkg mentioned above.
