Not all kernels show up in Grub boot menu

Hello Everyone,
I have the following in "/etc/grub.conf": installonly_limit=3

Consequently, when I ran "yum update" earlier, a new kernel was installed, 
bringing my total to three.  Here is my "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 (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2
#          initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0

        initrd /initramfs-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64.img

	The problem is that only the second and third listed kernels appear in the 
Grub boot menu.

	I looked a little bit on Google and I did not find this issue mentioned.
