Either will work as it's they're linked:
 
16:27:55 # ll /etc/grub.conf
lrwxrwxrwx   /etc/grub.conf -> ../boot/grub/grub.conf

This isn't likely to help since Tom noted above that the new kernel 
wasn't even listed as an option when he rebooted.  

Tom, when you updated did you "update",  "freshen",   or  "install"  the 
new kenel?  Only the last, "install"  will give you an additional entry 
in your boot loader, as the other two will simply replace your running 
kernel with the new one.  

What is the output of "uname -a"?  

What is the output of "rpm -qa | grep kernel"?

What does the listing of /boot look like?
