This has little, if anything, to do with the kernel itself unless your
hardware drivers are seriously mangled.
Can you get an "rpm -qav" report without errors? If so, can you

Time to back up your configurations and rebuild, if that's feasible.
Your last /var/log/rpmpkgs that was valid should be a helpful
guideline for packages to re-install as part of a new deployment.
