Look, all I wanted to know is how to find some old kernel rpms.
I expected there to be some form of archive somewhere, and 
it seemed to me like the developers should know where it is.
I apologize if no such thing exists, and that's EOT. 

I don't see why this question is so inappropriate and irrelevant for
this list. In fact, it seems highly relevant to me, and I think
there should be a policy to keep backup versions of rpms in a
centralized place. I have needed such a thing on many occasions to
determine what was broken, or recover my system from a horrific crash,
due to Rawhide.

... I do not believe I have enough information at this point
to file a valuable bug report. I wanted to test old kernels
to determine the point of failure first. I also wanted to know
whether problems can arise from the interaction between gcc4-compiled
kernel, and binary kernel modules, and felt that the list was a more
appropriate place to ask this question.
