That error usually means that the initrd is missing or broken.
You can try rebuilding it, or boot an older kernel and un-install and re-install the failed kernel.

Also, that kernel is from 6.4 which is from early 2013 and highly insecure and riddled with bugs. Run `yum update` ASAP to get up to date.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
