Ah, the bit of magic to get updates!  Took a long time to cleanup from a 
new kernel and avahi...

What with going from 4.0.0-1 to 4.2.0-0, I decided to reboot to ensure 
that it would boot!

But it still booted: Kernel 4.0.0-1.el7.armv7hl on an armv7l

:(

Fortunately, I was logging the serial console (I use screen and turn on 
logging), and see:

What I see in the log from the reboot is:

====================

So please tell me how to get my Cubietruck to boot into the newer kernel.

Meanwhile, I have to figure out what is in the repo, and what to install 
to get things like time going...
