Shane,
Look in your /boot directory for System.map- and see if the new kernel build
is listed along with the old one. You should also see coresponding
module-info-, vmlinux- and vmlinuz- as well. If you do then go back to the
grub.conf file and copy the original entry all lines and paste them back in
below the original and change the version numbers on the second set to
reflect the new kernel version - here is my gruf.conf for reference
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-18.1.caps)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-18.1.caps ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-18.1.caps.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-4.ll.acpi)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-4.ll.acpi ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-4.ll.acpi.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-8)

Hope this helps you out.
