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?? -- peace out. tc,hago. g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look at* it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ ****
