It would be best IF the kernel and shim get installed at the same time
if possible .. so I would install the kernel again (since it is not
running yet) with the new shim.

BTW .. it does not fail on every install .. so it might work w/o the new
update.  However, no need to chance it at this point.  Wait until the
new shim is there and install it and reinstall the kernel is my advise.

Here's what I get...

rpm -qa | grep shim
shim-x64-15-7.el7_9.x86_64

yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, priorities

 * updates: centos-distro.1gservers.com

Should I just wait for 15-8 to appear?
