Update to kernel-2.6.32-504.12.2, Grub not updating

Latest response

I'm having a problem; when i'm updating to the kernel-2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.x86_64 from 32-431 the yum update looks fine. The grub doesn't get updated allowing the system to boot to 504. I've never had a system do this before, what causes this? It does install the kernel image into /boot but grub.conf doesn't get updated. What is the proper way to fix this?

Was the kernel update part of updating RHEL 6.5 to 6.6? If so, did everything else go without any issue? In any event, you might want to try uninstalling kernel-2.6.32-504.12.2.el6 and reinstalling it.

This is on a test network so we get the patches from a different system (same config yum download) then run yum install on the target system. I have removed the 504 series of kernel patches and re-installed them a couple times now. Running the patches in both single user and init 3.
