[root at localhost ~]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making
changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means
that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to
/boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,1)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.14_FC3)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.14 ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 quiet acpi=ht
        initrd /initrd-2.6.11.7.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro 



Take a look at /boot/grub/grub.conf and change the
number from default=? to 

default=0

which will default your kernel to the latest
one(2.6.11-1.14_FC3) that is in your grub.conf file.  

cRegards,

Antonio
