I began making a modified grub but when I got down to the last

find that the F8 drive contains no /boot/vmlinuz - ****. It does
however contain kernel rpm files in the yum cache.
Can someone tell me how to procede? Suggestions, forget it maybe?
depends on how bad you want to recover it.
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.9-40.fc8.i686
what install of f8 do you have? is this from a regular install or from
a live cd?
check your f8 install is not a live, to see what is still there;
ls -l /f8mountpoint/var/cache/yum/updates/packages/*2.6.25.9-40.fc8
i am running sl5.2, f8 and f10. my last update of f8, was about a week
before eol, and kernel is 2.6.23.1-42. [ i do not recall a kernel update]
you can check
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/ to see what is there.
or you can check
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ and pull a
live cd version if yours is from a live install.
if you still have live cd, boot it, then copy vmlinuz to you f8's /boot.
there are many archive/mirrors that will still have f8,
kernel.org among
them. google??
