how do i rescue a machine with these errors from my logs:

PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_unix.so)
PAM [error: libcrack.so.2:: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory]
PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_unix.so
PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_cracklib.so)
PAM [error: libcrack.so.2:: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory]
PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so
FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR root, Authentication failure

i cant login as root, and there isnt any other user added on this 
system. I used centOS 5 final.

The last thing i did was install xfs-progs via yum, which updated the 
kernel. after formatting /tmp and /home and rebooting, I could not log 
in anymore.
How can i install the broken / missing pam modules in rescue mode?


Thanks in advance.
