Need help to install a kernel rpm with RescueCD (FC4T2)

Hi,

I've got a new AMD64 system which I installed FC4 test2 on. After installation 
finished and rebooted the kernel just hung. It seems there is a problem with the 
kernel released last week (ref: http://www.livejournal.com/users/wtogami/). I've 
got hold of the latest kernel which is supposed to work (from the same link 
above). I've managed to get the kernel rpm (kernel-2.6.11-1.1276_FC4.x86_64.rpm 
) over to my damaged FC4T2 system (had to use a gentoo live cd, since the 
rescuecd just crashed when I tried to enable network, and I could not mount the 
cdrom in rescue mode). Anyway, trying to install the kernel rpm package in the 
chrooted environment (chroot /mnt/sysimage) just ends up with rpm saying it 
depends on initscripts and won't install.

What can I do to fix this? I need to install this kernel to boot the system.

/Christopher
