The issue is likely about the chipset not being properly supported and so you will have to wait and see if 6.10/7.4 helps. You may want to check the RH release notes for RHEL 6.10/7.4 and see if support for the processor is listed there. While I can't assure you that upgrading to 7 will fix the problem, the likeliness that will work is at least 50% better being as 7 is based on a newer kernel. ----- On 29 Jun, 2017, at 13:53, Yves Bellefeuille yan at storm.ca wrote: | I have a new system with an AMD Ryzen 1600 CPU and I'm trying to run | CentOS, so far without success.
