This is driving me crazy...wrong kernel boots up after installing new one

Hello all,

I have FC7 and two kernels. When the new one installs:

# 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/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.22.5-76.fc7)
         root (hd0,0)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-76.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 
rhgb quiet
         initrd /initrd-2.6.22.5-76.fc7.img
title Fedora (2.6.22.5-75.fc7)
         root (hd0,0)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-75.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 
rhgb quiet
         initrd /initrd-2.6.22.5-75.fc7.img

After installing the new kernel, I reboot. And unless I manually choose
the -76 kernel, the older one, the -75, boots by default. How do I make it
os that the latest always boots? Thanks for your time, I am guessing it's
breathtakingly simple, but I just don't know the way to do it.
