Does kernel -19 work on the same system?

Yes, -19 works on the same system.

At first I did "yum localupdate --nogpg kernel-*". There was a warning about
a POSTTRANS scriptlet failure, but yum did not abort. The boot hangs.

Then I did "rpm --erase" of -24 and "rpm --install" of -24, and the message was:
-----
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg: line 289: 2334 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $tool
mkinitrd failed
warning: %posttrans(kernel-2.6.33.1-24.fc13.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
-----
and "rpm --verify" said:
-----
.......T. /lib/modules/2.6.33.1-24.fc13.x86_64/modules.builtin.bin
-----

The system is up-to-date w.r.t. "yum update".

That seems strange, it should use dracut, not mkinitrd at all? Is this
an F13 system?

/etc/fedora-release says "Fedora release 13 (Goddard)".
/etc/yum.repos.d has enabled repos for fedora, fedora-updates, and
fedora-updates-testing, using a baseurl= that points to
download.fedora.redhat.com [I hate lagging mirrors.]
What more of a pedigree should I report?
