There are a few things you can try.
>From the rescue command line you can use the chroot command to go into
the actual running environment itself which if I remember offhand is
at /mnt/sysimage (df will tell you)
chroot /mnt/sysimage /bin/sh
At that point you are mostly running off the disk which means you can do
/sbin/ifup eth0
to get your network working (assuming its ethernet on eth0)
and then use yum/rpm to update stuff in particular you can download the
grub package and do
rpm -e --nodeps grub
rpm --install grub
and ditto for a kernel rpm package matching your system
(or for rescuing data if you have another linux box as a target
rsync -e ssh -avz /home root at remote.box:/somewhere/
)
