There are always 3 kernels available for boot. Only one gets updated. So
first check if other two you have are booting properly.
Then you can list all available kernels with "yum list kernel
--showduplicate" and select one and install it like "yum install
kernel-2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.centos.plus" and see if this one works. If it
does, you can use it.
A thing to check is if you need to recompile VM drivers for new kernels.
