Yes, but if your on-disk copy is corrupted, then you get a bad kernel next
time you reboot.
also if you use RedHat, I think the rpm packages are signed by an MD5
checksum, so you can probably test the files on disk for corruption , but I
don't remember the rpm command line flags for that.

If the machine is important, than try getting something newer and more
reliable!

Well, it's kinda hard to help you debug such a problem with limited amount of
data. You problem can be anything from files corrupted on your hard disk, a
hardware problem, or a rarecombination of bugs (unlikely).
