I need to reinstall my kernel and grub using the rescue cd or the rescue

won't install grub because the kernel hasn't changed. There is no
kernel on
md0. How do I make it install the kernel again. I am trying to fix my boot
partition to get it to boot.
As there is no screen reader on the fc4 dvd, it is difficult for me to
search the cd as I must get my wife to read the screens. Sure wish speakup
was on that cd.
Is there a documented list of tools and scripts documented somewhere for
the
rescue process?

The rescue CD should contain tools to make recovery easier for all.
Anyway, I believe you want to enter Linux rescue. Next you want to
chroot /mnt/sysimage.
You also want be sure that you have the /boot partition on your system
mounted. This should have become detected by the rescue mode entry.
However, since you do not have a kernel installed, you might need to
mount the boot partition. Usually you will have a /mnt/sysimage for your
root partition and another /mnt/sysimage/boot partition before you
chroot to /mnt/sysimage.
List of tasks you need to do.
- Get into rescue mode and chroot to /mnt/sysimage.
- Ensure that you have your /boot partition mounted.
- Change to the RPMS directory or a directory which contains the kernel
that you want to install.
- Install the desired kernel RPM with rpm -ivh
- check /etc/grub.conf to see if it contains information for the kernel.
- run grub-install /dev/<my-boot-drive>
- reboot
I hope this advise helps.
