I'm in the process of installing ECE on my first host.  
I've seen a number of similar topics with the issue of the kernel version being incorrect.  
The documentation very clearly states that kernel-lt 4.4.155 from elrepo is the preferred option (at least for RHEL).  
However, the elrepo project has cycled kernel-lt 4.4.155 out of it's archive and is no longer generally available.  
It's many mirrors are also missing this version of the kernel-lt rpm.

Are there any other distributions points or yum repositories that still host this version of kernel-lt available?

Hi, thanks for pointing out the epel archive is removing the kernel-lt.  
I found a mirrow [http://mirror.rc.usf.edu/compute\_lock/elrepo/kernel/el7/x86\_64/RPMS/](http://mirror.rc.usf.edu/compute_lock/elrepo/kernel/el7/x86_64/RPMS/) that has the kernel-lt-4.4.155

Thanks for the heads up.  
I was able to successfully install the kernel from the above repository.  
I did run into a boot problem after the install.  
Something to do with reading old LVM cache data.  
This RedHat article fixed the boot problem: [https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3588831](https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3588831)

I am glad you were able to solve your issue and thank you for sharing your LVM solution.
