Interesting thread.  Long shot....but, does ls /boot show a directory 
link of boot back to itself?  It should.  Or do you have a "real" 
/boot/boot directory, with grub pointing to one and yum updating in the 
other?  Could you post fdisk -l /dev/hda (or wherever your boot 
partition is), ls -l /boot and your grub.conf file.
