Should it really do all that?  Mine's just go things like this in it:

 # UPDATEDEFAULT specifies if new-kernel-pkg should make
 # new kernels the default
 UPDATEDEFAULT=yes

 # DEFAULTKERNEL specifies the default kernel package type
 DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel

That's the whole file, by the way.  That looks more like something YUM
or GRUB pays attention to.

I'd expect the files like /boot/config-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 to have more to
do with creating new kernel modules, etc.
