Remove all partitions before you install. I had similar
problem when anaconda refused to add older kernel (in /boot
there was newer), but this was 'downgrade'.
The problem can probably be fixed 'by hand' also. Try
booting in rescue mode, chroot to the system, rpm -e the
kernel and install a new one - this should put it in
/etc/grub.conf (where I suspect the problem is).
