One random thought: On *some* VM setups (and I believe the OP is using
a VM), some of the boot infrastructure might be missing or exists only
the host system, so it might not be possible to upgrade a VM's kernel
while inside of the VM.  (I know that is the way it is for the CentOS 4
VPS I rent from Tektonic).
