$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23-0.142.rc3.git10.fc8 #1 SMP Mon 
Aug 27 19:04:11 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
  (Intel duo core 2.4Ghz, T61 laptop)

  It also properly updated grub.conf  When I (rarely) have an update 
that doesn't, I manually edit grub.conf   When that's successful I 
use 'yum remove' to uninstall to oldest kernel.

  But sometimes rawhide kernels fail to boot, so I have yum.conf set 
to keep 4.   installonly_limit=4    If a new one doesn't boot I 
use 'yum remove' an see if the next one boots.  Always has so far
