ok, I found it and it was indeed silly. I forgot that when you install a new boot rpm it DOESN'T update the kernel and initrd in /tftpboot. This happens to me almost every time I upgrade! We could certainly have an interesting conversation about why I think this is not a good thing, but perhaps the best solution would be a friendly message from the boot rpm to remind fools like me that I shouldn't forget to do this. sigh... -mark
