I just did a yum update -- no errors, everything went fine, but now my /boot looks like this:

dr-xr-xr-x.  6 root root     1024 Dec  3 12:23 ./

Isn't there supposed to be an initramfs for 3.1.2-1?

Is this a bug?

If there's supposed to be one, if so, how can I generate one? Once I have, do I need to reinstall grub?

Grub conf looks like this:

# 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/sda8
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
boot=/dev/sda
