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".
