Wouldn't it have been easier to reinstall the kernel & grub, i.e.:
yum reinstall kernel grub
Surely if yum reinstalls it, it would re-create the permissions & symlinks as well?
Yes, only that reinstall doesn't exist in EL4 :)
It doesn't?
rpm -Uvh <packagelist>
The -U (upgrade) should occur regardless of the current install state, though mucking with '--force' may be necessary. '--replacepkgs' should cover it.
