As Lubomir pointed out yesterday, the latest kernel is vulnerable to a
DoS attack, so you should probably use a different one.  See Johnny's
message for details, and an untested kernel that you could use instead:

You can either try ctrl-d or ESC during the splash screen process (I
don't remember exactly which one), or you can edit the grub command line
when it runs on boot and remove the "rhgb" and "quiet" options from the
kernel options.
