By using "sudo rm /*" you have deleted them ;-). But I think reinstall of kernel (e.g. from LiveCD using chroot) should help you.

I wanted to delete some files which could be deleted only by root.
Actually , I wanted to type ' sudo rm ./* ' after I changed to the required directory.
I did a fresh installl after that.
