Which version of Centos are you using? UEFI seems to be well
supported in 7, but marginally in other versions.<br>

Booting seems to be getting harder and harder these days. I got a
very popular MB from Amazon and had big problems with a fresh
install of the latest Ubuntu LTS. <br>
<br>
Also switching from one motherboard to another used to be very
straightforward, and now it's very tricky. I always thought it was
a benefit of Linux. When Windows got temperamental about switching
Mobos, Linux wouldn't. But now that seems to have changed, at least
for the technology, but not DRM.<br>

<p dir="ltr">I have a new server that can boot in a legacy BIOS
