   Looks like I might need to find another test machine to install CentOS-7 on.    
   As CentOS 7 has both HD selection issues and installation issues using a one   
   year old Gigabyte motherboard. Sadly, Gigabyte doesn't look to have much   
   support for Linux flavored OS's.  And I am not about to involve the BBBS   
   machine until sufficient testing is completed.   
      
   I should note that Ubuntu Linux v14 -> v16 installed on the same PC just    
   fine. :-) (Did I just whisper in my own ear?)
