Invalid magic number 0 or unrecognized and unsupported file format error on boot

Sometimes suddenly system may fail to boot with particular kernel with error messages of type "Invalid magic number 0 or unrecognized and unsupported file format error on boot". These can be caused by tboot module which can be removed using: 

   yum -y remove tboot

Unfortunately tboot uninstallation or removal is not perfect and lines in /etc/grub.conf still refer to tboot module. To make matters worse reinstallation of kernel also does not helps as the new lines added to grub also refer to tboot module even after it is removed. Thus to solve the problem manually edit '/etc/grub.conf' and change entries like: 

   title OpenVZ (2.6.32-042stab084.14)
        root (hd0,4)
        kernel /tboot.gz logging=vga,serial,memory
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.32-042stab084.14 ro root=UUID=3d38f7f9-b741-411d-9a40-181cb6e946e8 intel_iommu=on rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd_NO_MD SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 crashkernel=auto  KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rd_NO_DM rhgb quiet
        module /initramfs-2.6.32-042stab084.14.img

to 

   title OpenVZ (2.6.32-042stab084.14)
        root (hd0,4)
   #    kernel /tboot.gz logging=vga,serial,memory
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-042stab084.14 ro root=UUID=3d38f7f9-b741-411d-9a40-181cb6e946e8 intel_iommu=on rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd_NO_MD SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 crashkernel=auto  KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rd_NO_DM rhgb quiet
        initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-042stab084.14.img
