Ian, that is not expected at all, especially not booting with the old kernel. Since you still have the old contents, can you paste the contents of /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf?
Sure. I made a few changes to try to get the system to boot, but I'm 99% sure that this is what I had immediately after the 'yum update'.

The thing that jumps out is that the fdt/fdtdir entries are missing.
I actually did try adding an fdt line, but I missed the fact that it's a directory, so that didn't work. It's entirely possible that adding the correct fdtdir line would have worked.
BTW, which BananaPi do you use? I've updated all my BPi-M1 without issues, but it is a rule for me to update in this order:
- yum and rpm
- all but kernel
- kernel
To maybe that is why it didn't happen to me.
I believe that it's an M1, but I'm not 100% sure how to tell. (It's definitely a dual-core ARMv7 with 1GB.)
