I started a new thread since the original one is getting rather long.
I have retrieved the files I deleted in /boot and /boot/grub, however I need to make links for
/boot/System.map (System.map -> System.map-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/vmlinuz (vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/grub/menu.lst (menu.lst -> ./grub.conf)
If it was not so important to get it correct, I would appreciate the syntax for the command. Usually I would figure it out.
Since I have restored the files (I will double check to make sure they are all there), do I need to run grub-install?
My apologies for bothering everyone with such a dumb error on my part.

Instead, re-install your kernel. "yum reinstall kernel". This should regenerate your symlinks correctly, except possibly the grub.conf.

i think yes. The old location of the boot loader is listed in /boot/grub/grub.conf, and should be used as the argument to that command. grub is much smarter than LILO used to be, but I think the bootstrap procedure relies on knowing details of where the fiddly bits of grub live on the relevant ex2 compatible filesytem.
