The way I fixed this problem was to do this: 1.) Booted into linux rescue mode using the CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1511.iso 2.) chroot /mnt/sysimage 3.) Used nmtui to setup a network 4.) yum update (installed the 3.10.0-327-36.3.el7.x86_64 kernel) 5.) grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg 6.) yum reinstall kernel*-3.10.0-327-36.3.el7.x86_64 Step 5 was necessary because of a grubby error indicating that there was no suitable template. Step 6 was necessary because according to the googled page I found regarding step 5 indicated that the default kernel would not be that found in step 4. I probably could have skipped step 4 and just done steps 5 and 6. But the VM is now up and running the latest kernel. Now the question is how did this happen. My best guess is that the VM was unhappy when I booted the host while it was running. Is rebooting the host without shutting down guests first a risky thing to do? -- Paul (ganci at nurdog.com) Cell: (303)257-5208
