Meltdown Update Kernel doesnt boot

AFAIK worse case you should be able to select the previous kernel in grub2 upon reboot. It just hangs after grub on this (bad) kernel I think...

Yeah but if you have a couple of hundred machines that aren't booting.... That's pretty worst case.

That is pretty worst case. OTOH, it teaches the lesson about testing updates on a small number of hosts before rolling 'em out globally.

One has to learn that lesson at some point.
