That must be an outdated RHCE sample. You don't have to edit anything, "make install" does it for you. And on top of that, the default boot loader for RedHat has been GRUB since somewhere around v7.2 so if you had to edit something you would edit /etc/grub.conf.

RudeCat7:
But isn't this true if you want to boot multiple kernels?

voidmain:
No, a "make install" adds a new entry for the new kernel, it doesn't delete the old one. In addition it detects if you are running GRUB or LILO and adds it in the appropriate boot loader configuration file automatically. And again, the default boot loader is GRUB now. In fact it might have been 7.1 when they switched to GRUB, it was so loooong ago.
