Problems to boot kernel-3.10.5-200.fc19.x86_64: premature end of file /boot/vmlinuz-3.10.5-200.fc19.x86_64

[Joachim Backes]

Dear testers,

kernel-3.10.5-200.fc19.x86_64 seems to be buggy:

After installing kernel-3.10.5-200.fc19.x86_64 from koji and trying to
boot, grub2 has problems:

error: premature end of file /boot/vmlinuz-3.10.5-200.fc19.x86_64
error: you need to load the kernel first

No problems when booting my current kernel-3.10.4-300.fc19.x86_64

Additionally: If installing the kernel (with yum), cc1 still runs after
the shell cmd prompt reappears (I think this has to do with rebuilding
kmod-VirtualBox). But why the yum prompt appears despite the module
rebuild has not finished?

Anybody has similar problems?

Kind regards

Thanks Adam,

the kernel size is 0 too (as reported in 991808):

ls -l /boot/vmlinuz-3.10.5-200.fc19.x86_64

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 0 Aug  7 00:01 /boot/vmlinuz-3.10.5-200.fc19.x86_64
