Check you /boot/grub/grub.conf I suspect that these symbolic are no longer referenced. At some time in the past these links were made and because of some update interruption they were not cleaned out. For example if you update FC1 --> FC2 having booted from the CDROM I have found that /boot gets cleaned out. If you do a live FC1 update to FC2 via yum, as many do, I would bet that this house cleaning does not take place because it would clobber the active system.... YMMV. Check your yum.conf config.... etc. Delay your next update some and check with other for the best way to tidy things up. Me I like to do a update to my desktop (after a backup) and a 100% clean system install on a reference machine. Side by side it is easy to see what and how fix things. -- T o m M i t c h e l l spam unwanted email. SPAM, good eats, and a trademark of Hormel Foods.
