Your system was most likely rebuilding the initrd, and you interrupted
it leaving you with a broken initrd.

Try booting off a rescue disk and chroot into the install, and run:

dracut -f -v

to regenerate all the initrds.

Also, you don't need to reinstall the kernel but just do a 'yum
update' to get everything up to the latest release.  The shim package
with the fix is the latest.
