You might try going through the installation routine in expert mode (hit F1 at 
then type expert to start the installation program).  Use existing 
partitions, but don't reformat them.  Select individual package selection 
when given the chance and then go through the list an only install the 
appropriate kernel packages.  This should be similar similar to rpm -Uvh, 
which will restore a damaged rpm file.  Then continue the installation 
routine accepting all the default entries (no need to enter new users or 
passwords as you haven't changed exisiting settings.
Worth a try.
