Unfortunately, the 2.4.20-27.9 upgrade, unlike previous rh9 upgrades,
took it upon itself to automatically delete all earlier versions of
the kernel from the system, so I cannot simply edit
/boot/grub/grub.conf to default to the older kernel.

I think somebody at Red Hat maybe had a little too much holiday happy
juice just before that release was tested...  :-<
