    KVM vm's won't boot
    after yum upgrade and reboot
    machine is
    Linux mon7.transmit 3.10.0-514.21.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Apr 22 02:41:35 EDT 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    after restoring a snapshot of host to before the yum upgrade
    the qem-kvm VM will boot again
    if I then run yum update
    the KVM VM stops booting

    screen shot attached of where the boot gets stuck
    creating a new VM has the same problem
