Although it's immensly confusing it's an easy one-off fix and for me
grub has always worked flawlessly after that. The beauty of yum is that
it reads the file-system so you only need to install it once.

Is yum on the rescue image BTW? I seem to remember having to get it from
the 'installed' system.
