Curiouser and curiouser.
It shouldn't be anything to do with the kernels: since grub is there to
choose and load a kernel, obviously the kernel isn't actually loaded at
that point.
And there hasn't been a grub update (has there? What doesn rpm -q grub
return?)
What sort of motherboard do you have? What chipset? (Post the output of
lspci if you're not sure).
Can you post your /boot/grub/grub.conf file, in case there's anything
odd there?
Thanks,
James.
