Wait, linux rescue ( from DVD boot) should be able to recreate /boot/grub/grub.conf.
Something like:-
# grub-install /dev/sda (?)
I haven't worked with CentOS for a while.

Boris - thank you!

Success.  What Boris described below worked - the second time.  [The first time, it wiped out my grub menu and, being a relative newbie to linux itself, I was unable to rebuild it successfully, so I had to re-install.  Lesson: Always make a copy of the grub.conf somewhere when doing kernel upgrades :)]
