I upgrade kernel from 2.6.27 to 2.6.27.2 on Fedora 10 beta, but the
system won't boot with the new kernel. The system can still be booted
with the old one. The /boot/grub/menu.lst has the new and the old
entries as following. I use the same UUID as the one used for 2.6.27
for 2.6.27.2. This may be the problem, but I don't know how to get a
new UUID or do I need a new one.

Each partition or logical volume has a UUID. Your menu.lst file has
each kernel using the UUID of the / volume, not that of the /boot
partition /dev/sda1.
