Greetings:

Just to give some history and explanation...

* Today, I installed fc15-rc3-x86_64-DVD...
* I updated this installation with fedora, updates, and updates-testing...
* disabled those repos and enabled rawhide
* updated to rawhide current, with the kernel of kernel-2.6.39-0.fc16

Here is what I have installed from yum...

As you can see, yum says that I have it installed, but my /boot directory
and grub.conf file says that it is not installed!

Can anyone help me with this one?  I am completely baffled...
