I am using kernel 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5. I tried remaking
/boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5.img but that still has the same issue
with the log files.

There are no rpmorig files and rpmnew is:
/etc/ldap.conf.rpmnew
/etc/localtime.rpmnew
/etc/ntp.conf.rpmnew
/etc/passwd.rpmnew
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf.rpmnew
/etc/cups/mime.types.rpmnew
/etc/cups/printers.conf.rpmnew
/etc/pam.d/system-auth.rpmnew
/etc/samba/smb.conf.rpmnew
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew
/usr/share/a2ps/afm/fonts.map.rpmnew
Non of which appear to be related to the problem.
Thanks
