I noticed looking at your grub.conf that it tells something about your server not having a separate /boot partition. So everything is setup to be on the / partition. If, for some unknown reason, you do have a /boot partition that gets mounted, all changes to the kernels and grub.conf will be on that partition but at boot time grub will look at the / partition where no changes occurred. Uhm, is it understandable what I just wrote?
