Unfortunately I lack space and had been forced to clean up stale
packages, including good versions of those I now system.
The only rescue image I could find to hand is a i386 job, it cannot run
my system in chroot, and "rpm --root" didn't work because the rescue
system is too old.
I couldn't find an f9 rescue system: after some extensive googling I
found there is none, the netinst image I already had:-) is what I need.
I can report tho that my yum configuration looks okay to me, yum
apparently is ignoring it again??[1]
[1] Chess notation for blunder.
As I mentioned in another post, I've tried several kernels including one
I'm sure worked before, so I'm beginning to think mkinitrd is broken again.
