Symptoms

 grubby 8.28: unbootable system after Oracle Linux7.5 upgrade.

Changes

Oracle Linux 7.5 upgrade from Oracle Linux 7.4

Cause

Upgrading Oracle Linux 7.4 to Oracle Linux 7.5 with yum update results in unbootable system due to missing initrd16 entry in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Solution

 Workaround to avoid the problem.

- Proactive: Upgrade kernel before migrating to OracleLinux7.5 (yum update kernel-uek)
