I see your point about parsing /etc/grub.conf is something
system-config-language does not want to do, and this is not necessary,
after writing the relevant /etc/sysconfig files, all that
system-config-language needs to do is call (as root):

/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package <package-name> --dracut --install <uname -r>

For all installed kernels, so for example on my system:
[hans at localhost ~]$ rpm -q kernel kernel-PAE
kernel-2.6.31.5-106.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64
kernel-2.6.31.6-151.fc12.x86_64
package kernel-PAE is not installed
[hans at localhost ~]$ 

It would need to call:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.31.5-106.fc12.x86_64
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --dracut --install
2.6.31.6-151.fc12.x86_64

(this should be 3 lines)

But on a system which has
kernel-PAE-2.6.31.6-151.fc12.i686

It would need to call:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel-PAE --dracut --install
2.6.31.6-151.fc12.i686.PAE

Notice the PAE is in there now (2 times!)
