Wow, I think a "partially corrupted kernel" is like a "partially  
pregnant girlfriend". Are you certain it is the kernel? Since it is  
stored in compressed form I would think that it would fail to de- 
compress properly if it were really "corrupted".  It's unlikely you  
could even boot it.

I suppose if you are using modular nfs support the module could be  
corrupt, but in that case it's unlikely it would even load.

I suspect you should look elsewhere other than the kernel for the  
source of your problems.

Just my thoughts, I could very well be wrong here.
