If it had been complaining about certain modules missing I could have
used this option to tell it to ignore those. But it just says:

No modules available for kernel "2.6.16-nomod".

and stops. The kernel file is called vmlinuz-2.6.16-nomod. For some
reason it called itself (uname -r) "2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.rootkdumpnomod",
but using that gives the same error.

Cheers
