Thanks ahead of time for the collective help. I recently ran the update available within this past week and upon running yum update I have not been able to boot the server naturally. After normal updates the server just restarts and all is well. Within this instance, today, it hung upon restart leaving an error message seen within the attached. If I opt to boot off of an earlier kernel (I believe this is an earlier kernel as I choose 'Server 9.2 (2.6.32-696.30.1.el6.x86_64)' as opposed to the first, and automatic, option of 'Server 9.2 (2.6.32-754.el6.x86_64)' to allow the server to boot and function) it appears fine but I fear this will eventually bite me in the end. Is there anything I can do to get ahead of future problems? Is this just a bad update? Your help is GREATLY appreciated as it always is.. Thanks again..
