If you have /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5, you *should* also have /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 and /boot/initrd-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.img installed as well: sauron.deepsoft.com% rpm -qf /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 sauron.deepsoft.com% rpm -ql kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 | grep boot /boot/.vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.hmac /boot/System.map-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 /boot/config-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 /boot/initrd-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.img /boot/symvers-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.gz /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5/kernel/drivers/mtd/redboot.ko It looks like somehow your /boot/grub/grub.conf file is not getting updated. Is grubby / mkinitrd installed?
