Yum shouldn't have removed the running kernel, so recovery
should have been a matter of hitting a key during reboot,
selecting the old kernel with the down-arrow key, and
hitting enter.   Still, it would be nice if it didn't
break the system in the first place when it should be
moderately easy to detect that a new kernel isn't
going to work yet.
