• So to diagnose this problem there needs to be a lot more information supplied:
  CPU type Memory Additional cards?
  Where does it kernel panic? [Starting up network? Starting up disk drives? Video?]

  That can help determine what went borked.

• It’s hard to diagnose if the only thing you say is that it panicked.

  If it’s panicking because it can’t find the root disk, then that’s a completely different issue than it panicking when it loads a particular driver.

• I’d loan you my magic mind reading cap but it’s at the cleaners.

  Do you have any excludes in /etc/yum.conf? We had an issue about a year ago, where, in spite of exclude kernel, someone other than me ran an update, or there was some auto-update, I don’t remember, and it appeared to *partly* install the kernel… and did not appear to do any post-install actions (like building the ramdisk). I reinstalled the kernel, with my usual disableexcludes=all, and the upgrade succeeded, and all was good.

• Appears there are unfinished transactions pending… I’m now running yum-complete-transaction and then trying to boot.

  Hard to say what it panicked for, as anything in /var/log/ tells afterwards… All boot.log -versions before this day are 0 bytes.

• That ends up with tons of duplicates…

  I have done yum clean all and yum-complete-trasaction and yum-complete-transaction —-cleanup-only, but yum seems to be messed up :(

• Trying “package-cleanup —cleandupes”. It did it’s job and the system is still up…

  There is a change…
