I booted with the 4.0.0 kernel then:
cd /boot
dracut "initramfs-4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl.img"
vmlinuz-4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl
And there was the message:
Kernel version vmlinuz-4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl has no
module directory /lib/modules/vmlinuz-4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl
But I pushed on. See below:

I added:
label centos 4.2.0-0
kernel /vmlinuz-4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl
append enforcing=0 root=UUID=675d1330-cb5f-4562-98e0-b5b5b1bb4f2c
fdtdir /dtb-4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl
initrd /initramfs-4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl.img
Rebooted and selected centos 4.2.0-0.
Boot seemed to be going along, then stopped and gave me the following:
Mounting Configuration File System...

You might want to save "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" to a USB stick
or /boot
after mounting them and attach it to a bug report.

I looked there and did not see what to install to get this yum plugin.
thanks
Oh, and I can still boot into the 4.0.0 kernel.
