CPU intel 12th gen

Post by gabrielalmeida » 2022/05/31 17:51:27

Hi,

I'm trying to install Centos 7-2009 on a 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700K but it doesn't work. Has anyone already made it? Unfortunately, I use software that only runs on Centos7.
Does anyone have any tips on how to overcome this problem?

Thanks.

What happens when you try?

Did you try the basic graphics option off the initial Troubleshooting menu? Does it boot in rescue mode from this menu if that doesn't work?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

The "doesn't work" is sadly quite common way to describe a problem. It is quick and thus tempting, but lacks all details. Without details it is impossible to do something.
There are couple (lenghty) texts about questions:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
https://xyproblem.info/

The third gets us to second point: Why "only runs on Centos7"? Because "it says so" (which has no details), or because "it depends on feature Z in file W and no other distro provides that combo"?

Lets presume that CentOS 7 is required. The followup question is, what other features does that software require? For example, could it be run in a container or virtual machine? If yes, then one could install distro that does support the hardware and on top of that have CentOS 7 environment for the software.

My bad.

I thought someone would have already encountered this problem.
Right at the beginning of boot it complains about the CPU. I'll redo the problem and post it here.
The software I'm going to use is ProMax/SeisSpace by landmark. It uses some libraries which are not present in CentOS8.
For example:
compat-libf2c-34
sharutils
openssl098e

Thx.

If that's just the standard warning about unsupported hardware then it's just cosmetic and is telling you that RH have never tested it to see if it works.

Of those, the compat-libf2c-34 tells that the program has probably been compiled with g77 3.4.x (a Fortran 77 compiler).

There actually is package 'sharutils' for RHEL 8 -- in CodeReadyBuilder repository that for trademark reasons is called 'powertools' in both the RHEL clones, like AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux, as well as in CentOS Stream 8. The 'powertools' repo is disabled by default.

"The OpenSSL toolkit provides support for secure communications between machines." Therefore, your software uses encrypted communication with some software. The issue here is that the old versions of SSL are not secure any more and thus do not provide the safety that they were used for.

In ideal world there would be means to get new/maintained versions of programs for every platform, but we are not there.

One can on RHEL 8/9 create (with 'podman') a container that has CentOS 7's packages in it and add our software to it too. That way the software has what it requires and the host OS under the container handles the hardware.
