This did not fix the problem. I still only have two items on > my Grub boot menu. OK. This is strange. 1. I ran "yum update" the other night, and the result was the three entries in "/etc/grub.conf" that are shown above. Actually, that is my entire "/etc/grub.conf" file. 2. So, almost by inspiration, I looked at /boot/grub/grub.conf and /boot/grub/menu.lst (which as you know is a symlink to /boot/grub/grub.conf) Guess what? both of the files in the "/boot/grub" directory have only two kernel entries. Also, "/etc/grub.conf" is it's own file, not linked in any way to what appears on the boot menu. So, how did "/etc/grub.conf" get updated when I ran "yum update"? Also, did "/etc/grub.conf" used to be a symlink to "/boot/grub/grub.conf"? If so, why is it not on my system? Anyway, I'm going to copy the grub.conf that was created when I ran "yum update" the other night to where Grub will actually be looking for it. I trust that I will now see three kernel entries.
