Well, I ran "yum remove kernel-2.4.22-1.2179.nptl" and got "No Matches for (the above). 2. Then I ran 'rpm -e .....' as above and it returned the console prompt. 3. Then I ran yum update - (I'm just used to using yum). It didn't download anything, but said it was installing the kernel. Then the aforementioned "no bootloader found" message, then a line that the kernel was installed. 4. Rebooted - Got the Grub 0.93 screen with the 2 old kernel choices. 5. Updated, this time with rpm graphical, and it downloaded the kernel - Downloaded and installed without errors, and suggested I reboot to use the new kernel. 6. The reboot yielded the graphical screen showing Grub 0.93 and STILL THE 2 OLD KERNEL CHOICES! 7. Still no /boot/grub file, fwiw. Any help appreciated. - John
