CentOS - Oct 2017 - C7: kernel-3.10.0-693.2.2, huh?

Ok... I just fully updated a user's machine. And got a kernel panic on
reboot. So, having run into this earlier this year, I tried to reinstall
the kernel.
yum reinstall kernel-3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64
Installed package kernel-3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64 (from updates) not
available.
Error: Nothing to do

Huh? Anyone?

What was the panic?  Missing initrd?  You could always just rebuild
that instead of reinstalling the kernel.

you can't reinstall the running kernel.
