No, I don't have xen installed.

I have already checked /etc/sysconfig/kernel. It has:

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

# DEFAULTKERNEL specifies the default kernel package type
DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel

If this file is supposed to control the behaviour I want, it would appear to 
be set up correctly (I have never changed it).

I noticed that grub.conf default=1 started to happen about 1 month ago, or 
so. Before, it was working correctly, as it does on my other computer.
