We have a problem with upgrade to 4.4 When we run 'yum update' everything appears to be OK But, if we reboot the server with the new kernel, we get "kernel panic" when the new kernel attempts to load.
The CentOS splash screen shows briefly, but not long enough to select the old kernel
Hmmm ...
You should get a screen that has a kernel name and is blue, at that screen, you should be able to press any key and then select a kernel before the kernel actually starts booting.
Does that work?
If that doesn't work, boot the install CD with 'linux rescue' at the boot prompt. It should auto-detect your installed system, mount it, and suggest that you chroot /mnt/sysinstall do that, edit /etc/grub.conf to default to your old kernel, then exit twice to reboot.
