Assuming you are correct and it is really corrupt (I doubt it but I have been wrong before). Boot into rescue mode and reinstall the kernel rpm. Your backup is the original rpm you installed during the install. Boot into rescue mode mount the cd with the original kernel rpm on it rpm -ivh --replacepkgs kernel*.rpm should do it. Oh btw, once in rescue mode if you run rpm -V kernel-whatever before you reinstall the kernel it will tell you if the rpm is corrupt or not. If it is not your problem is elseware. HTH, Tom
