Boot freeze after update

Post by Ahmed_barakat » 2018/02/18 17:08:17

Hello

I was running Centos 7.4 (3.10.0-693.11.6.e17.x86_64) and when I Updated to the (3.10.0-693.17.1.e17.x86_64)
my computer is freezing on the boot

I usually disable gdm reboot and update then reboot again then I check that I have the matching kernel-devel and then I reinstall my Nvidia drivers
and the re-enable gdm and restart this procedure used to work fine with me.

this time I disabled the gdm reboot then run the yum update and on reboot this time my boot froze ( Image attached sorry about the camershot)

I have the MSI X299A Raider motherboard with the i7 7820X 8-core processor and Nvidia 1080gtx runing the Nvidia drivers NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.111


When I boot to the rescue mode I don't have internet (I use a usb wifi Panda stick) and all my drives are umounted is there a solution to that.

Thanks a lot any help would be very appreciated

Regards
Ahmed Barakat

Ok I managed to resolve it
in case anyone else run into that
I managed to ssh the computer then I used yum clean all, reinstalled gnome, reinstalled gdm, rebuilt Nvidia drivers, enabled gdm and reboot.
that fixed for me.

Cheers

Check into the numerous posts here about using the kmods, 'nvidia-detect', etc. so you need not rebuild every time you get a kernel update. It's so much nicer if you can get it to work.
