Recreate the mkinitrd in your /boot.

Boot from a rescue disk, mount your system and chroot into that.
You can run mkinitrd manually (needs a filename /boot/initrd...
and the kernel version) or you can trigger the steps that happen
when you install a new kernel, by using a rpm -Uhv --oldpackage
kernel... or running the script the rpm would run
(rpm -q --scripts kernel prints something like
  /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6...
)
