I went on vacation right after an update to one of our virtual CentOS 6.9 systems so it was not restarted for a period of time. Now it will not complete boot-up with the gnome display never fully launched. A progress bar at the bottom of the start-up screen never reaches completion. We have not been able to detect a running system on the network.

We had real issues months back, where a yum-cron appeared to half-ignore the exclude=kernel line in yum.conf, and it would consistently fail to boot, but once the above was done, reinstalling the latest kernel, *then* it rebooted with no problem.
