[X2Go-User] Centos 7

[Robert Dinse]

      Under CentOS 7

      I've updated to the latest kernel provided in the El Repo repository,

          kernel-ml.x86_64   3.19.3-1.el7.elrepo   @elrepo-kernel

      They have no version configured with pre-emption and this version without
does not provide smooth video over x2go, very jerky and laggy like the stock
kernel.

      If I build a kernel from source from kernel.org, even using the same
conf, and install it:

 	make clean; make; make modules_install install

      The entire process proceeds without error but it breaks something
horribly in grub and instead of a boot menu I get a pointer alignment error
when I try to boot, so I haven't been able to install a custom preemptive
kernel on this machine.

      The packaged kernels install fine, so it's got to be something different
with grub2 that the make file isn't doing.

      I've found instructions on the web for building custom kernels and they
recommend the above procedure which is the same as Centos6, but it does not
work for me.

      Anyone with any pointers?
