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?

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 -

Hope this hleps.
