Please verify the /boot/grub/grub.conf file.

I did the same update you did but didn't have any problems with it.
Nevertheless, what gets loaded by default is controlled by the grub.conf
file.

First, when you boot the system, you can press the 'Esc' key to check
the order in which your kernels appear.

It should be something like:

Fedora (2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686)
Fedora (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686)

In the case you see that in a different order all you have to do is edit
the grub.conf file. The kernel list in mine looks like this:

title Fedora (2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686)
	root (hd0,1)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686 ro
root=/dev/mapper/vg_d0d-lv_root noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8
SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=es rhgb quiet
	initrd /initramfs-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.img
title Fedora (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686)
	root (hd0,1)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 ro
root=/dev/mapper/vg_d0d-lv_root noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8
SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=es rhgb quiet
	initrd /initramfs-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.img

As you see, 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686 is listed first, thus, it gets loaded
first.

Check that in your grub.conf file.
