I was having trouble getting the most recently installed kernel to boot (not the latest release in the repository). It just immediately crashed like it was a grub issue. So, I decided to update the server to an even later kernel, since it is not really a production server.<\/p>\n
However, when I did I kept getting the following conflict message:<\/p>\n
Error: kernel conflicts with kmod-20-8.el7_2.x86_64<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This what took care of the issue for me:<\/p>\n
After running this command, I discovered that it was not an issue with an incomplete installation during my last updates.<\/p>\n
# yum-complete-transaction –cleanup-only<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Then, I ran the following, which removed a lot of duplicate packages:<\/p>\n
package-cleanup –cleandupes<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Then, I updated the server again:<\/p>\n
# yum -y update<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
