I feel your pain. This is likely the result of untar'ing the file
src.tar.gz in the /usr directory (you shoulda' put it in /usr/src
instead). I did the same thing last week. Turns out this happens
pretty frequently. 

The good news is things may not be as bad as you think. All I did was
boot from a cd, and run the (U)pgrade option. The only thing I "lost"
was the packages I'd installed. Everything else survived intact.

Good Luck,
Jay
