I hit a similar problem using yum. It did not install the new kernel,
but did not remove any of the kernels already present. I manually
installed the kernel successfully.

In addition, when the 2.6.1 kernel was installed, the new kernel was
put in the first stanza of grub.conf, but the value of default in
grub.conf was set to 1, resulting in default booting to a 2.4.x
kernel. The work-around, of course, is to hand edit grub.conf to set
default to 0. Prior kernel installations have always set default to 0.
