I also see this since upgrading to FC9 with yum -upgrade. I did NOT have this 
problem prior to this on FC6-8. To get a new kernal to work I have to follow 
the below process once yum installs it:

Kernel fix for all new kernels
===============================
mount -o defaults --ro -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /sysroot

NOTE: img filename will change based on kernel version

cd /boot
mkdir newinit
cd newinit
gunzip -c ../initrd-2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686.img | cpio -idmv
vi init

Find 'mount /sysroot' near end of file and replace it with line above and save 
file

find . | cpio --quiet -c -o > ../newinitrd
cd ..
mv initrd-2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686.img initrd-2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686.img.bak
gzip -9 < newinitrd > initrd-2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686.img

vi grub/grub.conf to reflect new img and kernel filenames

reboot



when updating with yum:

 Installing     : kernel                                        [187/431]
