got changed 5:08 today. Are you sure you booted after that? What does uname 
-a show now?

The machine *is* booting vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 and you should also be 
able to see all three available boot options. You should be seeing something 
like "booting CentOS in x seconds". You can interrupt this by pressing a key. 
You should then see all three options and the first one with CentOS (2.6.18-
53.1.14.el5) highlighted. If you continue with that I don't see a way it 
could not be booting into vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5.

What makes me wonder a bit is this: (hd0,2). If you set this system up new 
with CentOS 5 this would hardly be the case if you accepted default 
partitioning options. Is there another system, maybe Windows, on the disk or 
some external boot manager or so?
