RedHat issues while upgrading

After attempting to remediate a (kernel)vulnerability on my stand-alone, the device fails to reboot.

Problem: The following error is what I am getting after attempting to update on my testing laptop.

Message I am receiving:

Verified appropiate steps in reference to https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2376641'

When I reboot it, it fails.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
