Should it really do all that? Mine's just go things like this in it:
# UPDATEDEFAULT specifies if new-kernel-pkg should make
# new kernels the default
UPDATEDEFAULT=yes
# DEFAULTKERNEL specifies the default kernel package type
DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel
That's the whole file, by the way. That looks more like something YUM
or GRUB pays attention to.
I'd expect the files like /boot/config-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 to have more to
do with creating new kernel modules, etc.
