Load kernel from grub menu

If OS fails to load kernel and it sends you back to grub menu, please follow the below steps to load the kernel manually.

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
 (hd0,0)

grub>root (hd0,0)

grub>kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 root=/dev/vda1 ro

(Load appropriate kernel in your server)

grub>initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64.img

grub>boot

If the certain kernel fails to load, reboot and select a lower version of kernel in the above commands to boot the OS. These changes are only temporary and will be flushed upon next reboot. Please make sure to update your grub.conf for a permanent solution.
