Try this to find out what has changed:
rpm --verify `rpm --query kernel-smp`
(Replace 'kernel-smp' with whichever kernel you are using.)
The output will be files whoch have been altered. From tha rpm man page,
here's a key for the change codes:
The format of the output is a string of 8 characters, a
possible
attribute marker:
c %config configuration file.
d %doc documentation file.
g %ghost file (i.e. the file contents are not included in the
package payload).
l %license license file.
r %readme readme file.
from the package header, followed by the file name. Each of the
8
characters denotes the result of a comparison of attribute(s) of
the
file to the value of those attribute(s) recorded in the database.
A
single "." (period) means the test passed, while a single "?"
(question
mark) indicates the test could not be performed (e.g. file
permissions
prevent reading). Otherwise, the (mnemonically emBoldened)
character
denotes failure of the corresponding --verify test:
S file Size differs
M Mode differs (includes permissions and file type)
5 MD5 sum differs
D Device major/minor number mismatch
L readLink(2) path mismatch
U User ownership differs
G Group ownership differs
T mTime differs

[WBEL-users] missing files in /boot
I made a big mistake the other day and apparently removed several files
in the /boot directory. So now I'm contemplating whether I should
reinstall or use this as a learning experience and try to recover from
this error. I was hoping one of our resident experts could lead me in
the right direction on fixing this problem. Don't ask why, it was a
totally stupid move on my part, I just need to get passed this, no major
hurry though.
Thanks, in advance...
