In /boot/grub/grub.conf make sure that the line for
default specifies the new kernel.  Counting begins with '0'.

   default=0

Setting the timeout to 0 is likely making the ability to see that
there is a newer unselected kernel 'invisible'.  Set it to a short non
zero time.

   timeout=10

yum updates apparently to switch to the latest, up2date on FC2 keeps
the last one active.
