I'm only on C5.6 still :)
Have you moved grub.conf at all - like to a different boot
partition, or changed any symlinks to grub.conf?
I moved my grub.conf to a seperate boot partition some time
ago, and the rpm installer does not update grub.conf now. So
in a way that's a mixed blessing, because I can use yum
update each night, and if there is a kernel update it won't
actually run the new kernel untill I change the grub.conf
entry manually.
