	Okay so tmy question is, does the menu that appears when you boot look
the same as the /boot/grub/grub.conf file?  if so, does your /boot/
partition have more than the 1 kernel (the vmlinuz.... files)?
You will need to add lines to your grub.conf files for any additional
kernels, since evidently your .conf file was put in the wrong place.

Just copy line for line, the title, kernel, and initrd lines, replacing
the version-release numbers from the kernel files.

On the other hand, if you also do not have the kernel that you just
installed in your /boot drawer, you will need to do the following

as root:
rpm -qa | grep kernel #find all kernels installed on system 

rpm -e kernel-version-release # version-release of the missing kernel

the reason is that your kernel was incompletely installed.

If you don't fully understand this or worry that you'll mess up your
system, sen the output of 

ll /boot

and 

cat /boot/grub/grub.conf

and

rpm -qa |grep kernel
