Heads up,

 

If you've modified Grub2 settings and ran grub2-mkconfig your system is likely booting the unpatched release kernel 3.10.0-123.el7.

 

I've been using the following as a workaround.

 

CKERN=$(grub2-editenv list | grep saved_entry | cut -d'=' -f2)
DKERN=$(cat /etc/grub2.cfg | grep ^menuentry | grep "$CKERN" | awk -F"'" '{print $4}')
grub2-set-default "${DKERN}"
