That's never been my experience.

But, do you really mean that there's only one kernel because you've
directly checked that?  Or are you thinking that there was only one
kernel because the GRUB menu didn't show you any others to choose from
to boot with?
I checked how many kernels were physically in /boot and there was only ever 1, which annoyed me because I'd just moved from Mandriva to Fedora 18 where Mandriva would not remove any old kernels at all and I used to manually retain 3 kernel versions, even with smartpm 1.4.1 from upstream, which I'm using under Fedora as well. Smartpm doesn't use yum for its backend it uses rpm, so the functionality should be the same under both distros, especially when its all script based.

Steve
