I had read that portion of the wiki before I did the upgrade, but I 
edited /etc/sysconfig/bootloader to change AUTOACTIVATE=yes *after* I 
"swup-ed" the new kernel.  So, thinking that the order in which these 
steps are done is important, I did the following:

I just removed the 2.4.31-6tr kernel with rpm, then swup-ed again to 
install it.

Now, the links in /boot are correct.  I have restored my grub.conf to 
original.

I rebooted the machine using the default grub entry and uname -a shows:

Linux saltydog 2.4.28-7tr #1 Sun Dec 19 01:04:25 CET 2004 i686 i686 i386 
GNU/Linux

/boot shows the following:

vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.4.31-6tr
vmlinuz.old -> vmlinuz-2.4.28-7tr

Any other ideas?  I am getting the feeling that I better look at my 
RAID-1 mirrors as the /boot partition is on /dev/md6 and I see the 
mirror set is marked as dirty, degraded as following:
