I copied vmlinuz directly from the rpm to /boot/ and renamed it vmlinuz-5.19.0-0.rc8.20220729git6e2c0490769e.62.fc37.x86_64, though I could have symlinked its location in the /lib/modules tree. It works.
kernel is a metapackage that doesn't contain any files, the actual main parts of the kernel are in kernel-core. Is that what you meant?
I haven't installed "kernel" in over a year. I haven't been able do determine any purpose it serves that is actually needed. What I ran was: time rpm -ivh kernel-core-5.19.0-0.rc8.20220729git6e2c0490769e.62.fc37.x86_64 kernel-modules-5.19.0-0.rc8.20220729git6e2c0490769e.62.fc37.x86_64
OK. Well, it should have wound up putting the file in place, I think. I think it's not directly installed, but put in place by the %posttrans script, which does this (from the current package):
rm -f /var/lib/rpm-state/kernel/installing_core_5.19.0-65.fc37.x86_64 /bin/kernel-install add 5.19.0-65.fc37.x86_64 /lib/modules/5.19.0-65.fc37.x86_64/vmlinuz || exit $?
did you get any scriptlet failures or anything?
