Bad Kernel version

FreePBX 14.0.13.4
Current Asterisk Version: 13.22.0

After a recent upgrade that got hung up my system won’t boot… get’s hung on probing EDD and just stays there. If at boot I arrow down to the prior Kernel it boots fine. I can’t seem to get rid of the latest kernal though using “yum remove kernel-3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64” however this results in an error stating “unable to remove sangoma…” because it’s protected.

Sangoma Linux (3.10.0-957.10.1.e17.x86_64) 7 (Core) <----- Bad Kernel
Sangoma Linux (3.10.0-862.9.1.e17.x86_64) 7 (Core)

I also can’t seem to find where to specify the default boot kernel.

How can I get rid of or re-install that latest kernel so that the system can boot properly without needing intervention??

This comes up in rare cases, and I can usually fix by booting from the old kernel and running:

yum reinstall kernel
yum update
