FWIW: I ran into this same problem on my computer. Following this same
procedure did, in fact, get the kernel installed, but it never updated
grub.conf. It removed the old entry, but didn't add the new one.
Luckily, I'd been watching this thread and made sure it was set before I
rebooted...
I think 'rpm -i kernel*' does not install the kernel (contrary to what
was expected), as the command:
rpm -qa | grep kernel
returns nothing (in rescue mode).
