In my case it’s the previous Kernel that was installed. That’s good to know, as this is the version we’d like to retain. I guess when that menu with the last 10+ kernels showed up during boot, we may not have paid much attention to the little numbers at the end. To figure out which version is working for us, we can use the uname command. Here’s what worked for me on CentOS 6: What Kernel are we using Thankfully there are ways to either fix the latest version, remove it, and even exclude a particular version from future updates. I can boot into the previous one just fine, but of course if I forget to make a choice on startup, the server doesn’t start up.

I’ve had a power cut recently, which seems to have corrupted the latest Kernel I have installed on my CentOS 6 server.
