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
timeout=10

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.
