I just tried it and rebooted. Still only two entries on the Grub boot

It would have seemed strange if "grub-install" worked, since somehow
grub.conf knows about all three kernels, since all three have been listed there
since "yum update" installed the new kernel yesterday. But I know little about
Grub, so I am willing to be corrected.
