If you update a kernel via yum or even 'rpm -ivh kernelname' grub should be automatically updated. No need to do anything more. However, i didn't quite get what the problem is - maybe i lost previous posts, sorry. Looks like you can't boot. Did you try a 'linux rescue' mode? You can go into rescue mode with FC1 #1 cd (type linux rescue at boot) with network support, then you chroot to your old / (mounted somewhere else in rescue mode, don't remember exactly), run a 'yum instal kernelname' or simply rpminstall a kernel you already downloaded. Have a look at /boot/grub/grub.conf to see if everything is ok and then run 'grub-install /dev/hd??' where hd?? is your boot drive (sd?? if you run a scsi only box). This should fix everything, if your problem is actually related to kernel and botched bootloader. HTH E.
