Hi all,

In the latest batch of updates, I installed 
kernel-2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64 via a 'yum -y update'.

It seemed all of my 5 Xen DomUs running SL6 failed to boot upon 
rebooting. It looks like all of these systems failed at roughly where 
switchroot is called.

Interestingly, I could recover from this by shutting down the DomU, 
mounting then chrooting the DomUs filesystem and issuing:
	# rpm -ivh --force kernel-2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64.rpm

Not sure how widespread this issue is, but I had a 100% failure rate on 
Xen DomUs. The one bare metal system I updated did so with no errors.
