[rhelv6-list] new kernel is installed but grub was not updatedproperly

[Gary Gatling]

I think this might be related to this bug?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625216

I've been having to use sed instead of grubby as a temp workaround when 
adding kernel arguments to grub.conf in a kickstart install. Just until 
this gets fixed.

Cheers,
