Hi There,

You can found MSS 2016 support CentOS 7.1 in Getting Started Guide - Linux* Installation, CentOS 7.2 will be support in the MSS next release - Intel Media Server Studio 2017. it will coming soon.

ok so we cant use MSS2016 with Centos 7.2 with its default kernel  3.10.0-327.22.2.el7.x86_64 ....but Our Motherboard doesn't allow us to install Centos 7.1 , so for Using Media SDK 2016 Can we downgrade Kernel at Centos 7.2 from its Default Version 327 to 229 which was default Kernel for Cent os 7.1

will this Solution make us able to use MSS2016 over Centos 7.2 ? and reliability and Functionality will not be affected for MSS2016?
