You can easily run dracut to correct that. You may want to substitute values in my example just to be sure ... # cd /boot # dracut --force initramfs-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` Next time you reboot you should be fine, or next time you get a kernel update from yum it will also get 'fixed' as long as the wireless keyboard is plugged in when you do it.
