Okay, why do you think the kernel is corrupt? Can you not boot into
that kernel at all? It sounds like you can. Let's try to backtrack to
what the problem is before we go about re-installing a kernel. If
there's a module that won't load (or is loading and bombing, we can
remove the module listing so it doesn't get autoloaded. That's quicker
and easier.
What are the errors you're seeing?
