CentOS ISO/Install on a macbook pro 14,1 (mid 2017)

Hello,

How can I set up the CentOS ISO/installer with a newer linux kernel?

Thank!

Not in any way that is easy.

What's the real problem?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

I have amended your original thread title to more accurately reflect what you're trying to do.

Thanks, TrevorH

Is it possible to mount the ISO, chroot into it, and update the kernel and install necessary drivers?

What happens when you try to use the unmodified CentOS install image? There may be kernel command line parameters that may help.
