Hi,

Anyone else having problems with kernel 3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64?

After my yum update today a reboot hung. A quick look at the Xorg.0.log 
shows two of my graphics cards appear to be working okay but the third 
one (I have two nvidia cards with a monitor each and then use the 
inbuilt intel one for the third monitor) gives:

<cut>

[    14.246] (II) Loading sub module "fb"
[    14.246] (II) LoadModule: "fb"
[    14.247] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/libfb.so

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
      at http://wiki.x.org
  for help.
[    14.247] (EE) Please also check the log file at 
"/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
[    14.247] (EE)
[    14.257] (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
</end>

So a reboot to kernel 3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64 and all is well.

I note that the update also updated :

     Updated xorg-x11-drv-ati-18.0.1-1.el7.x86_64 @base
     Update 18.1.0-1.el7_6.x86_64                        @updates
     Updated xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.1-5.1.el7.x86_64 @updates
     Update 1.20.1-5.2.el7_6.x86_64                  @updates
     Updated xorg-x11-server-common-1.20.1-5.1.el7.x86_64 @updates
     Update 1.20.1-5.2.el7_6.x86_64                @updates

Before I start trying to solve this by myself, just wanted to see if 
anyone else has had issues.

TIA
