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.
