Centos 7.6 Fresh install yum update automatically reboots login

[xbatx]

I have a lenovo legion y530 I installed a fresh copy of 7.6 (gnome desktop) Works great until I do a yum update. After the yum update it loads the login screen but after a few minutes it just reboots if I login or don't login... I just reboots no matter what.

I have tried to crtl alt F2 nothing.... Any ideas suggestions thoughts? thank you

tried another fresh install from another mirror no such luck...

Got it - https://serverfault.com/questions/78671 ... ack-screen

or here is the steps I did...

press e before entering any centos boot.
navigate to the linuxefi /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz... line or what ever line is your linux boot command (usually ends in quiet to supress debug info)
enter in the following additional arguments to your boot args list:

rdblacklist=nouveau
nouveau.modeset=0

these arguments will stop nouveau from starting for the next boot, press ctrl-x or f10 to boot into Centos 7
uninstall nouveau and install non nouveau drivers, other wise you will have to do this process every boot

try an install but NOT doing that. After you get a basic stable installation, then worry about video driver issues (if you have any).

I apologize for my English. What I was trying to say above is i did fresh install everything worked good then a yum update and issues began. I appreciate the effort. I went ahead and posted my instructions. To answer your question it was a nvidia driver

Great!

One thing I really don't understand is why would a yum update or kernel update screw up the current video settings if they worked fine in the first place??
