I, however, didn't. I saw this too late...I yum removed kernel then yum
installed kernel.i686 and got a grubby error. Now my kernel doesn't appear
at all in grub.conf
Can someone tell me the proper way to get it back? Or if there's no proper
way that doesn't involve reinstalling using anaconda, just paste me their
one so I can modify it?
Before Lars' advice I ran into the same problem that now you are
experiencing. Later on (I am too busy at the moment), I will tell you,
Scott, how to escape from that.
