Ran the update today, and saw the new kernels, but then had about 2/3 of
the machines have the same issue with just getting a blank screen after the
reboot and trying to load the kernel as I had seen with the 3.16.2-200 kernel.
The machines are all new Lenovo ThinkCentre systems from January, so not
clear what is going on. Had gone back to the previous 3.15.10 kernel that
work fine with all. Not sure why the 1/3 booted? Would expect all or none? I
have found that using the edit option on grub menu and modifying it would
get it to work sometimes. Sometimes just using edit and F10 with no changes
would work, sometime entering a blank line would work. Sometime removing
the rhgb or quiet would do it??
modified the /etc/default/grub and removed the rhgb quiet and used the
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
and then did a test and all 20 machines booted just fine. Have no clue as to
why that would have an effect? Didn't see any error messages, so not clear
on why 2/3rds of machine wouldn't boot after the yum update with the new
kernels.
