/etc/grub.conf points at 2.6.18-194.17, but when I reboot, 2.6.18-128 comes up.

I am suspecting that you are looking at /etc/grub.conf which is supposed to be a symlink to /boot/grub/grub.conf and somehow this is no longer a symlink, but rather a file of its own, which is not being read.

This is how this should look. (adjusted for screen wrap in a mail program)

# ls -la /etc/grub.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Sep 27 2008 /etc/grub.conf -> ../boot/grub/grub.conf

What are the contents of your /boot/grub/grub.conf? That is the actual file. What is the default set to there?

also check what /boot is mounted.... the /etc/grub.conf file you showed thought that root was /dev/md1, is that the case?
