F8 - latest kernel install gives grub error

Hello,

I have just tried upgrading my Fedora 8 (64-bit) PC, and it generally
went okay. However, the installation of the kernel - which I did
separately from the rest of the packages - gives an error and doesn't
update the grub.conf file. The error is quite long, so I'll just show
the top and bottom parts of it. Has anyone else had a problem installing
the latest kernel (kernel-2.6.26.3-14.fc8.x86_64)?
I checked redhat bugzilla but so nothing about this.
