FC3, problem with grub after yum update?

[David Bruzos]

I think what hapen is that you installed another kernel when you updated your system with yum, so now you have more than 2 
linux kernels in your grub.conf file.  So, Windows is probably number 2 instead of number 1.  I think that moving windows 
to the top of the file is probably your best bet.  However, remember that the next time you install another kernel, it will 
probably put it self at the start of the file.  So, don't forget to check...
