That just gives me the same thing but with an empty logfile. It's like I'm 
not giving it enough parameters or something. What does it depend on on my 
filesystem? I may conceivably have missing files or something?

Also, I'm in rescue mode at the moment, if I force removed the kernel 
using rpm and reinstalled it, should it do it for me?
