It is most likely that your grub.conf file is _different_ than menu.lst.
grub.conf is just a dummy symlink made by RH under /boot/grub as well as
under /etc to make peoples lives easier. (Or harder as the case maybe)
If the contents of grub.conf is what you want to use for your bootup
listing..
cd /boot/grub
mv menu.lst menu.lst.bak
cp grub.conf menu.lst
rm grub.conf
#optional step
ln -sf menu.lst grub.conf
#optional step
ln -sf /boot/grub/grub.conf /etc/grub.conf
