Ok, I've downloaded the 5.2 tree from a mirror and compared it with 
the one on ftp.redhat.com and fixed up any differences.  Then I 
burned a CD and tried to upgrade my 5.1 install.  Everything 
seemed to go fine up to the point it wanted to install the boot 
loader at which point it tells me it can't run "/bin/insmod" as the file 
doesn't exist.  This leaves my system in an incomplete state now 
running the older kernel without any modules.  It gives me the 
same message if I try to create the boot disk during the install.  
Anyone know where I should look to correct this?

Thanks.
