Home built 6.8.1 worked just fine here Dave (except for the sluggish 
glxgears which I now think is a kernel problem), till yum crashed the 
party and installed all this last night:

which of course meant I was dead in the water the instant I tried to 
reboot.  Needless to say, the automatic yum is gone...  Banished.

Ok, how do I restore that?  Or do I revert to amrecover?  Wait, you 
said /etc/init.d/xfs, and it doesn't exist now.  Gone.  Totally.  
Installing 6.8.1 doesn't restore it, I've done that about 4 times 
today.

Humm, I have amanda running here, so I should be able to get that 
back...

This is an FC2 box, but it wasn't a bare metal install, its an upgrade 
from RH8.0.  What all do I need to suck back out of amanda's backup 
cache?, I'm using virtual tapes so it shouldn't be too hard.  I just 
need a list of what to pull up again.
