[OT] RH 2.4.7 kernel panic: How to get a new kernel on there?

[OT] RH 2.4.7 kernel panic: How to get a new kernel on there?

[Ben Greear]

I just upgraded my VAIO PCG-fx210 to RH 7.2 (from RH 7.1 + custom kernel).
I also upgraded to GRUB.

Now, the kernel panics every time when I try too boot.  Does anyone
know how to tell grub to boot one of my old kernel images in
  /  ?  I also can't remember the exact name of that old kernel,
so can I get grub to do an 'ls' in root?

Any other ideas are welcome!  If you want the kernel panics,
I can hand-copy them...but it seems to be a known problem according
to RH's bugzilla.

Thanks,
Ben

This isn't exactly relevant to what you're asking.. but I have similar
troubles with my Vaio PCG-FX101 and 2.4.x.
I found that I couldn't make it boot without spending a long time playing
with the PCMCIA options, and it still locks up whenever I insert a cardbus
card.
This could be related to your problems - regardless of whether or not you
have PC Card inserted, there are certain cardbus chips which seem to lock up
in 2.4.x.
