Is that kernel OK?  What does rpm -V kernel-default-2.6.18.8-0.3 tell you?

Not necessary.

Because it isn't.  They did not need to be updated.  I either read that
here or the security list.

They are not the problem and they are ok as is.

If booting from GRUB with that option doesn't work, make sure that
kernel is still there in /lib/modules, and check (via above command) if
rpm sees a problem with the installed files.  It should work if those
all check out.  To make it default, you can either change the default in
/boot/grub/menu.lst to 1, or use Yast2, System, Bootloader module and
set it as the default.
