I figured out that in both failure cases the "yum update" was never completed as I had to run yum-complete-transaction on both.  And doing that and re-installing the 358.0.1 had the same boot failures.

Yesterday I did another update which installed the 358.2.1 kernel, which booted.  So I guess I'll attempt to update the host machine.

I don't know what happened, but it seems to be resolved.
