.... should i talk a bit slower?
* make a copy of the current, good kernel that resides on
the /boot partition. call it whatever you want.
* make a copy of the current, good initrd that resides on
the /boot partition. call it whatever you want.
* open an editor and create a stanza in /boot/grub/menu.lst
so that you can boot this 'just copied' kernel

newer (updated) kernel/initrds will replace the current
kernel/initrd files. you still have the copied kernel/initrd
(along with the new grub entry) to boot from
