Installing the new kernel did generate a new initr - or, at least, dracut is run after installation. And it updates the /boot/initrd and /boot/zImage symlinks correctly. So I tried to uninstall the new kernel RPM. This caused the initrd and zImage symlinks to become dangling. And yet rebooting worked fine, still to the old kernel. I'm suspecting the separate BOOT partition has something to do with it. That's where boot.scr lives, and there's a zImage file there, too. Does something in it need to be updated to activate the new kernel?
