It's special-cased.
recall in FC5 having a an IBM 225 that ran OK with the initial kernels but at some update would not boot the new one and many subsequent versions. I think there were more failing kernels than the number configured to keep but I was always able to recover by selecting the old working version in the grub boot menu so it looked like it was a special case. Eventually I did a bios update on the machine which let the new kernels run but broke the older ones.
You can configure the number to keep to be very large, if you want.
How do you do that then Matt?

Keith
