Yeh? There is no place to get replacement modules from. They are
somewhere on some RPM on one of the CDs, with no way to know. It's
not like you could tar everything from the current root file-system.

They don't exist in the root file-system, which is a RAM disk.

RPM is called kernel (suprise), it's on the first CD (logical).

Boot from CD into rescue mode, and than:

# chroot /mnt/sysimage (if not done for you by rescue)
# rpm -q -f /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358
kernel-2.6.5-1.358
# uname -c
i686
# rpm -Uhv --force /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-2.6.5-1.358.i686.rpm
