Hello All, 




slightly unrelated because lightdm = epel, I know. 


Still, maybe someone had the same issue. 


When using the last two kernels, some machines give me trouble when installing Centos7 and Mate 




One machine is basically an Asrock board, on this I get no login screen:

up until kernel 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64 I had nog issues.
