need help: yum broken after removing new kernel,

[zogthegreat]

I seem to have broken something after removing a test kernel that I had installed. I removed the kernel with the following command:

rpm -e kernel-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.test.fc11.x86_64

The kernel was erased, but I received an error about "grubby", that I seem to have lost. When I run "yum xxx" this is what happens:

[root@gryphon ~]# yum -y update

I have tried to do the following:

package-cleanup --problems
yum clean all
yum clean metadata
yum clean packages
yum clean dbcache


Anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks
