If you were using a PAE kernel, it would have had kernel-PAE-core (or kernel-PAE). This
matters if you have both PAE and non-PAE kernels installed. (Previously SMP kernels used
to be available as well.) It says which varient should be used for the default boot.
I don't yet have an F21 system. But on an F20 system these are set to....
UPDATEDEFAULT=yes
DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel
If there is no package type of kernel-core then I suspect all bets are off as to the
behavior.
