I did read the bug report:

"I installed fedora core 6 and included the virtualization package group
at install time."

That means /etc/sysconfig/kernel is (correctly) set to the xen kernel by
default by Anaconda.

"I decided I didn't need xen, so I used yumex to remove all the xen
related packages."

Anaconda is not in the picture at this point to change the
/etc/sysconfig/kernel file.

I'm not sure I can see a good place to automatically change the
/etc/sysconfig/kernel after an install.
