[CentOS] yum update / kernal update failed - remove or repair
I have a VPS running C7. I ran a 'yum update' which included a kernel update. The yum update wasn't a total success because mariadb updates failed. However everything else appeared to work. However, when I rebooted the server it did not restart. I have managed to get the ISP's support desk to boot the server by selecting the previous kernel, and I now have access to my box again. As I will probably only have one chance to fix this (without having to get the ISP's help again) I was wondering if there are any clear instructions on how to remove a failed kernel RPM update, returning the server to the state it was in prior to the YUM update?

[CentOS] yum update / kernal update failed - remove or repair
I have managed to find out what happened in the yum update and it turns out it was a mess. It looks like the server ran out of memory in the middle and things then started to fail. Any advice on how to recover from this would be greatly appreciated The log below shows: [root at vps2 ~]# yum history info 22 Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks Repository mariadb is listed

I always considered yum a wrapper for rpm (I wish it was) and was able to fix a system with rpm alone and later make yum behave again. It usually boils down to analyzing what is in the rpm db and what is on the filesystem actually. You can then remove invalid rpm db content as well as wrong filesystem content. It's a bit of work and you may create helper scripts as needed but you can fix almost everything that way.

You could check with rpm -qa --last | head -20 which the latest packages are that were installed. If the rpm database is corrupted, rebuild it with rpm --rebuilddb You can reinstall packages that may not be completely installed, using rpm --reinstall PACKAGE_FILE I'd rpm --erase the kernel package that does not boot.

[CentOS] yum update / kernal update failed - remove or repair

I've used something similar a very long time ago when the main boot loader was LILO - it was much easier to do this kind of thing with it.

If you have a RHEL subscription (I'm using the free developer subscription) you can see the official Red Hat documentation at [0].? I was unable to find similar instructions for CentOS but here's a post of the same vintage as the RHEL one [1].
