CentOS - Aug 2011 - Error installing latest CentOS kernel from %post section of kickstart

I'm running the command "yum -y update" from a script called from
the the post section of my kickstart config file, and I get the following error:

    Installing     : kernel-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.i686                      
185/378
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template

After the install, if I log in to the system and remove that RPM and then
re-install it with "yum install kernel", the grub.conf file is updated
correctly.  Any ideas why this might be failing from kickstart?  Anyone else
seen this?

In the mean time, I just manualy add the grub entry for the new kernel 
and it boots fine (not sure if there are other side effects though).
