So, I attempted to turn off prelinking (floundering round in the dark)

/etc/cron.daily/prelink

I suspect I've got myself in a bit of a pickle...
Is there any magic yum command that'll check for missing files for all
installed rpms and put them back in?
No. not that I know of - that could be a useful app, though.
Can you get your installed package list from rpm and tell yum to
reinstall them? Overkill perhaps, but I've always thought there should
a handy(ier) way to get the list from one box and duplicate that set on
another which would mostly be the same operation.
Is there any magic anything command that'll tell me definitively if I
should chuck the hard drive, which I really don't want to do because
although I've got backups, my backs against the wall at the moment and
I really can't afford to be doing this......
no clue on how to tell on the hard drive, but as a general rule I tend
toward the "assume the hard drive is ALWAYS failing" side of things.
'smartctl' will give you a health overview. If the drive is too old to
have the smart interface, it's probably time to replace it.
