But, there are only the two standard kernels in my grub.conf and
grub directory. Furthermore, I can't find the two ccrma kernels
anywhere on my PC, but rpm says they exist on my PC. Where could
they be?
Should I just try reinstalling to get them back?

Apparently you are missing the grub entries for the new kernels.</pre>

I'm also missing the vmlinuz files.<br>

Interesting.. the reply is nothing for one kernel (I assume that that
means OK) and the following for the other. 
My reply here is a bit out of time order as I am replying after
reinstalling both rrt and rdt 2080 kernels. 
 
&nbsp;Here's the verify output: 
 
[root@ives images]# rpm -V kernel-2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma 
 
[root@ives images]# rpm -V kernel-2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma 
missing&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /boot/System.map-2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma

missing&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma 
 
Even though this: 
[root@ives images]# rpm -q kernel 
kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 
kernel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 
kernel-2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma 
kernel-2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma

That will verify the integrity of the package.

The grub entries are a side effect of scripts that are run within the
package at install time. 

For example in fc4 this will run (other things ommited) right after the
kernel package is installed:

/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --depmod --install
2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc4.ccrma

"new-kernel-pkg" is a script and amongst other things it adds the kernel
entry to /boot/grub/grub.conf... I don't know what could make it fail to
do that (it seems to be using /sbin/grubby to add it). You can always
edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and add a suitable entry.

    <pre wrap="">Well.. that's what I did - I reinstalled.
I rcv'd this error:
Output from kernel-2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma@i686:
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma/updates/isa/wavefront/snd-wavefront.ko needs unknown symbol sys_open

Is this an alsa issue? I found a few msgs by googling, but they were
old msgs (circa 2004).

Hmmm, that should not cause the kernel to not be added to grub, I think.
That means a particular module is missing a symbol.

Oh... sorry for the confusion.. I reinstalled both kernels after I sent
the first msg.<br>
At this point, <br>
2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma <br>
was entered into grub. But, <br>
kernel-2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt.rhfc5.ccrma <br>
was not. Strange.<br>
