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.
