A question just to clear things up: Where your kernels actually
removed from the system (what does rpm -qa | grep kernel say? what is
in /boot?) or were the GRUB entries just removed for some reason.  I
do not see how an rpm -ivh could remove packages.  But your error
message (about grubby) says that your /etc/grub.conf got mangled in
the process of installing the kernel.
