Yes. If you saved the old key (in /etc/ssh) just put it back and all will
be well. If you did not, next time remember to always save the whole of
/etc/ before you reinstall.
]but We used to login in to this machine A with public key through another
]unix machine B which we dont' have root access.
]Since the linux client A box's host key was changed , so when we try to ssh
]to the linux A from the unix machine B, we got reject as the B still trying
]to remember the old linux B host key.
]I remove the host key from the known_hosts file from unix B, still got msg:
They can be there either as host name or as ip address, or both. Remove
both.

This tells you which line in known_hosts you need to remove.
Remove it.

Remove line 8 in /home/xahria/.ssh/known_hosts
