That's the crash you get when the initramfs for that kernel is either corrupt or not mentioned in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. Boot an older kernel and use dracut to rebuild it and check that there is an initrd line in grub.cfg.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Hi guys,

I have the same problem and am totally new in CentOS ..

May I ask for detailed steps how to manage with "Kernel Offset: disable" (if it's not so hard for you to share them, of course) ?

Thanks in advance!

Boot an older kernel and use dracut to rebuild it and check that there is an initrd line in grub.cfg.
Grub puts up a menu when you first boot that allows to select which kernel to boot with. Pick an older one than the one that is broken and boot that. When it boots, use yum reinstall kernel-3.10.0-thebrokenversionnumber to reinstall that kernel and that should fix it

Hi,
I met this situation today when i try to buile a virtual machine

I found that if I set the memory for 256MG,it will occur.
But, If I set the memory for 512MG or 1GM,I can build the machine without problem.

Maybe we have met different problem...

The install process needs at least 1280MB RAM to succeed. It's documented in the release notes.
