Hullo,

I just made 7.1 the default for Springdale 7.  32bit build is missing latest kernel  - not only was it hard to build on 32bit but the system doesn't boot with it (it does work in anaconda and rescue though).  Red Hat has started patching kernel files and adding features only for 64 bit architectures (at least ones they support) and at this point it is not clear what in the newest kernel breaks boot or that this is fixable in any easy way.

Otherwise it was a rather easy rebuild with very few issues or surprises.  Please refer to RHEL 7.1 release notes for details on what is new.

Please let us know of any problems,

JP

Fantastic work - preliminary test does confirm that it fixes the problem at hand - rebuilt 229.el7 does boot now.  Glad to see it wasn't an easy one ;) (in assembler code, really??, oh man).

Still working on updated installer and latest kernel.

Thanks again!

JP,

The issue with the 3.10.0-229.x was caused by the audit service.  We found a fix today while QAing the CentOS i686 Arch.  The issue is described here:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85277

And the fix that was rolled into the upstream kernels is Commit-ID:

Attached is a patch, reformatted for RHEL-7.1 white space, used by me on the new CentOS i686 kernels.

Thanks,
