Hi,

Using the yum update command, I tried to update Kernel from 3.10.0-327.36.1.el7.x86_64 on an x86_64 to 3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.
When the update is complete and I try to restart my VPS, it can not be reboot.

I receive the error:

Code:
error: file '/vmlinuz-3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64' not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue...

But when trying to restart the Kernel, I receive the same issue.

How can I solve this?

Ask your hoster to restore a snapshot if he has one.
Looks to me this is a non recoverable error, but perhaps the more experienced admins here have a solution.

Worst case scenario, you need to reinstall your os and restore all data from backups.

Thank you for your reply. That's what I already thought, the reinstall of the os and restore all data. Let's hope some experienced admin can help me out! :)
 
Hello,

During booting the OS select another older kernel (you need a KVM or virtual console for it). After your server boots you should re-install the latest kernel, as it seems was not properly installed.
