Why does Red Hat Enterprise Linux system kernel panic happen immediately after second reboot on VMWare hypervisor?
Issue
- After installing the new
kernel
, rebooted the machine with the newly installedkernel
, system boots fine. Post next reboot,kernel
panics with generic message. Why does the system face thiskernel panic
on second reboot onward, first boot works though. Removing and reinstalling thiskernel
works again! But the problem repeats itself.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
- VMWare Virtual Machine
