If you buy me one, I'll create an installer that works for it :)

Seriously though, I can regenerate an installer for ryzen if you find
that a newer regular kernel works but the original one does not.

I've tried reinstalling CentOS 6 from scratch, and it worked. :-) I
supposed I installed or modified something at some point that Ryzen
didn't like.

Thanks!

I have a Desktop system With both Centos 6 and Centos 7 on it, and
it works fine with my Ryzen 1700X cpu.

Centos 6 preexisten on the system before I upgraded it to Ryzen,
Centos 7 was installed with Ryzen. Never had any problems.

I've installed CentOS 7 with the latest kernel from elrepo (4.11.8),
and I can't get Grub to install. I think I'll have to conclude that it
really doesn't work with Ryzen. :-(

Debian seems to work, so I'll try it for a while.

Re: [CentOS] AMD Ryzen and CentOS

[James A. Peltier]

The issue is likely about the chipset not being properly supported and so you 
will have to wait and see if 6.10/7.4 helps.  You may want to check the RH 
release notes for RHEL 6.10/7.4 and see if support for the processor is listed 
there.

While I can't assure you that upgrading to 7 will fix the problem, the 
likeliness that will work is at least 50% better being as 7 is based on a newer 
kernel.

[CentOS] AMD Ryzen and CentOS

[Yves Bellefeuille]

I have a new system with an AMD Ryzen 1600 CPU and I'm trying to run
CentOS, so far without success. The only information I could find was
a post reporting that CentOS 7 would crash during installation on a
Ryzen system: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=61831 .

I tried updating to the latest elrepo "mainline stable" kernel,
version 4.11 (by booting from a live CD and using chroot to enter
CentOS: that worked), but the system still doesn't work properly.

I'm using CentOS 6 but I'll switch to CentOS 7 if that will help. (But
I assume that if installing the latest kernel didn't help, neither
would going to CentOS 7.)

Any suggestions? Is it known whether the next version will work
properly with Ryzen?
