Kernel Panic

I get a kernel panic when I try to boot. I'm using an older kernel right now. In my boot folder, I have initramfs-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.img, vmlinuz-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686, and vmlinuz-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686, but no initramfs for the kernel that won't boot.

grub.conf:
Code:
title Fedora (2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686)
	root (hd0,1)
	kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686 ro root=UUID=23a6bdc1-2b84-4df7-a878-99216585b7f6 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet nouveau.modeset=0 rdblacklist=nouveau

	initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.img
Code:
[freebullets@fedora ~]$ dracut
Will not override existing initramfs (/boot/initramfs-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.img) without --force

So, with no /boot/initramfs-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686.img file, correct?

Yes, you should have the initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686.img line in the /boot/grub/grub.conf file, too...Sounds like the "update" to the 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686 kernel had a problem...May be remove that kernel, just to be sure or you may try to run the dracut command for building the initramfs file again...The results from the dracut during initramfs would be in /var/log/dracut.log may be examine for what happened before as to why the file did not get created.

Could you run the yum list kernel* command post results?
============================================
[root@localhost ~]# yum list kernel*

============================================
You could "also" download a version of the fc14 kernel which is beyond the Fedora (2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686) like Fedora (2.6.35.10-80.fc14.i686) for example at this URL - http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/p...fo?packageID=8
============================================
Hope this hleps.

Looking for the simplest route of fixing this.

Fixed by reinstalling the broken kernel.
