After successfully updating three CentOS 6.3 VM guests to 6.4 I decided to update the host as well. And it failed to boot.
Kernel panic - Not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Pid: 1, comm: init not tainted: 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1
At the time of this writing, CentOS kernel 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6 is not out yet. Where did you get this one from ??? Did you build it yourself?
I figured out that in both failure cases the "yum update" was never completed as I had to run yum-complete-transaction on both. And doing that and re-installing the 358.0.1 had the same boot failures.
Yesterday I did another update which installed the 358.2.1 kernel, which booted. So I guess I'll attempt to update the host machine.
I don't know what happened, but it seems to be resolved.
