Kernel Panic.

How can I delete these last Kernel?

Only with Kernel

Code: Select all

$ uname -r
3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.x86_64

the CentOS 7 is booting.

Code: Select all

yum remove kernel-3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64

That's a known crash with no known cause or solution (since no-one knows what causes it). The solution is easy though, yum reinstall kernel-3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64 as the problem is that either the initramfs file for it is missing from /boot or from grub.cfg. Reinstalling it will fix it.

After

Code: Select all

$ sudo  yum reinstall kernel-3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64

the system was booting.
But without GuestAdditions.
The Installation of GuestAdditions from /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso was in error.

Therefore I have deleted the newest Kernel with:

Code: Select all

sudo yum remove kernel-3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64

and now I have the actual Kernel:

Code: Select all

$ uname -r
3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.x86_64

The Installation of GuestAdditions from /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso was in error.

For that you probably need to update your virtualbox.

For that you probably need to update your virtualbox.

The VirtualBox in the Host is Version 5.2.10 and associated GuestAdditions in /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso in the Host.

The VirtualBox in the Host is Version 5.2.10

For CentOS 7.5 guests you need version 5.2.12. See also: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog#12

Under VirtualBox 5.2.12 and GuestAdditions in /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-5.2.12/..
with the Kernel kernel-3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64 the system has no GuestAdditions working.

The Kernel kernel-3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64 is definitiv buggy regarding VirtualBox GuestAdditions.

I must this Kernel remove again.

But with next Update this Kernel will be installed again. How can I disable that?

I haven't had a problem since upgrading to CentOS 7.5. kernel-3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64 was working fine for me. Today I tried to reboot my desktop into kernel-3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64 and it crashed right away. Trevor's solution worked for me, I just had to run yum reinstall kernel-3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64 Thanks for sharing this solution.

The problem is in VirtualBox. With this Kernel there are no GuestAdditions active.

My question: How can I disable the update-installation for the Kernel kernel-3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64
