Sure... you yourself answered your question with the use of the word "update". If you did "rpm -Uvh" instead of "rpm -ivh" that would explain your problem...
Yes, this is what I did. I should have caught that -- guess I'm asleep. Interesting that yum does the same by default, something I really don't want it to do. Thanks for the reminder!
Yum by default does use -i for kernels, which is the generally desired behavior. (You don't want to remove an old kernel until -after- you've successfully booted into the new one.)
