Remove nomodeset parameter from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line. Save and exit the grub configuration file.
Re-generate the file for
legacy or UEFI base.
(Legacy), please refer to this
#grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

#grub2-mkconfig -o
/boot/efi/EFI/(Distros_Name)/grub.cfg
Distros_Name depends on the source you have
used. Redhat, it will be redhat for the folder name. Centos, it will be centos
for the folder name.
