 +  * Updated to CentOS Linux release 8.3.2011
 +  * Booting into new kernel kept failing
 +    * complained /boot ext4 filesystem was unknown
 +  * Booted into previous kernel OK
 +  * Did "rpm -qa |grep kernel | sort" and looked for all the latest versions
 +
 +  kernel-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64
 +  kernel-core-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64
 +  kernel-devel-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64
 +  kernel-headers-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64
 +  kernel-modules-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64

 +  kernel-tools-libs-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64
 +  
 +Then reinstalled all of them using:
 +
 +  dnf reinstall kernel-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64 kernel-core-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64 kernel-devel-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64 kernel-headers-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64 kernel-modules-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64 kernel-modules-extra-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64 kernel-tools-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64

 +__15 October 2020__
 +  * For centos8-vtatdb2-l, selinux seems to have gotten messed up
 +    * Tried a new VM by cloning centos8-minimal and immediately disabling selinux, rebooting
 +  * mod_security was giving httpd errors and permission denied
 +    * Try disabling this and then testing httpd stuff
