OK, here is what I have after manually moving files into /boot/ and /boot/grub/, leaving behind old kernel files. Of course, no links.

Yes...thank you for the suggestion...since that was the cause of my problem in the first place!! I should have known better; all I had to do was remove some of the outdated kernel files. And when I did the dumb thing of deleting the /boot files, they were moved into the "protected" .Trash-boot directory.
OK, now let us know exactly what you have. Is it CentOS 4 as I expected? If so, the listing of files in /boot should look like so:
[root@abc ~]# ls -laR /boot/ /boot/: total 3771 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Mar 3 11:31 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Mar 3 11:37 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51676 Feb 18 07:41 config-2.6.9-100.EL drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Mar 3 11:31 grub -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1364958 Mar 3 11:20 initrd-2.6.9-100.EL.img drwx------ 2 root root 12288 Jul 8 2005 lost+found -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9371 Aug 13 2006 message -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9371 Aug 13 2006 message.ja -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 67797 Feb 18 07:41 symvers-2.6.9-100.EL.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 770652 Feb 18 07:41 System.map-2.6.9-100.EL -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1538264 Feb 18 07:41 vmlinuz-2.6.9-100.EL

- I don't know which tool you have used to move things to "Trash" but you
should be aware that it may well be the case that some permissions and or file types like symlinks may not be correct after recovering from "Trash".
- The directory "lost+found" can be recreated using the command
'mklost+found'
- I'm not sure on how to make grub work again, but maybe some steps qre
required after copying everything back to /boot. I hope someone else can give you better info about this.

Besides recovering the files, you'll need to delete some of them to free up space.
Here's an idea of how to go about it:
