Answer
For all X10 motherboards that failed to boot up with CentOS 7.3 and IPMI FW 3.80. Here is a solution below:



1. Download v1.09 ASpeed Graphic Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris driver package from https://www.aspeedtech.com/support.php and un-compressed it.

2. [Install] Select “Troubleshooting”

3. [Install] Select “Install CentOS Linux 7 in basic graphics mode” and then start to install.

4. [Patch] boot to Linux after installation.

A. Copy and un-compress the download package.
B. cd “LinuxDRM”
C. tar -xzf lxdrm.tar.gz
D. Run “./auto-update.sh”
E. Run “rpm -qa | grep ast-drm” to confirm the RPM had been installed properly.

5. [Edit] remove “nomodeset” in /etc/default/grub

Remove nomodeset parameter from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line. Save and exit the grub configuration file.

Re-generate the file for
legacy or UEFI base.

(Legacy), please refer to this

#grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

(UEFI), please use this

#grub2-mkconfig -o
/boot/efi/EFI/(Distros_Name)/grub.cfg


Distros_Name depends on the source you have
used. Redhat, it will be redhat for the folder name. Centos, it will be centos
for the folder name.


6. Reboot the system
