well hi.. friends,
wat i know if u r installing the kernel.. rpm -ivh <kernel name> then it
will add that kernel to the /boot
partition and if it is not appering in the grub. then you can manually edit
the /etc/grub.conf file..
give the location of the kernel.. kernel /boot/vmlinuz <new kernel>
along wit the initrd enty of /inird<kernel>.img
and dont forget to give the LABEL name..

hope this will solve out the kernel disappearing problem...
