ANOTHER Fedora upgrade tale of woe...

[John Nelson]

All,

I tried to upgrade RH 8 on another of my development machines and, while 
the upgrade claimed it was successful, the upgrade process royally 
messed up in setting up the modules for the kernel. The modules.info 
file is missing from /boot. Also the /lib/modules/e2.4.20-20.... 
directory that contains those modules..... wasn't even created so when 
Fedora boots up, I get a cascade of missing modules errors.

I have no idea why the modules files are missing, but more importantly 
how can I fix this problem? Reinstalling from the distribution CD just 
skips over everything and doesn't fix the problem. I imagine I'll have 
to patch all of this by hand but don't really know where to start.... 
any ideas?
