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.
