There are a few things you can try. >From the rescue command line you can use the chroot command to go into the actual running environment itself which if I remember offhand is at /mnt/sysimage (df will tell you) chroot /mnt/sysimage /bin/sh At that point you are mostly running off the disk which means you can do /sbin/ifup eth0 to get your network working (assuming its ethernet on eth0) and then use yum/rpm to update stuff in particular you can download the grub package and do rpm -e --nodeps grub rpm --install grub and ditto for a kernel rpm package matching your system (or for rescuing data if you have another linux box as a target rsync -e ssh -avz /home root@xxxxxxxxxx:/somewhere/ )
