OK I'm confused since I yum upgraded to kernel 2.6.8-1.598 (among
other things) last night using yum 2.1.X and grub defaulted to the
newer kernel. So either I completely misunderstood the above
information or yum is misbehaving, at least as defined by the rules
Seth outlined above.

BTW I *like* booting to the newer kernel, I can always fall back the
the older kernel if things get all wonky.
