Unfortunately, it is over my head.  :'(

What I have been doing is slowing moving everything over to Fedora
(26 just came out).  I am working on my second Fedora server
this afternoon for a customer.  RHEL doesn't work on the C236 chipset.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1353423

They won't work on the issue as they don't have the hardware.
I gave them Supermicro's phone number to ask for some.  Supermicro
will assist big companies with those issues.  But Red Hat did not
bother.

And since the Server I am buildig today is a real close match,
I offered to run whatever tests on it that they liked before
installing Fedora.  THEY GOT CRABBY WITH ME.

There is something weird about Red Hat lately.  It is
getting harder to get them to fix anything and they
get CRABBY about it.
