[Beowulf] Centos 7 news

[Jonathan Engwall]

Supposedly a movement away from autoconf.h and auto.conf is underway. This
may relate to the "invalid" configuration of kernel 1062.
/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/######/build/make.log suggests I run make 'oldconfig
&& make prepare' on kernel src.
This seems reasonable.
