    Hi folks -

    Just yummed a remote server from FC1 to FC2, went smoothly so far. The 2.6
    kernel for FC2 is installed and I would normally reboot at this point and see
    how she goes.

    However, this server is VERY remote. Is there a way I can request that GRUB
    try my new kernel ONCE, then if it reboots or is rebooted, comes back up in
    the default (2.4) kernel?

    I googled and found some kind of cryptic command in the GRUB shell, but I
    wonder if there is anything I can stick in /boot/grub/grub.conf?

    TIA

    - -Andy
