FC5 beta 1 installed a kernel on my laptop that does not boot. While
this is a beta and all bets are off, it's perfectly possible that the

The installer routine of kernel RPMs always inserts new kernels at
position 0 into grub.conf. It won't change the number of the default
kernel, though. I always have my current kernel in a position other than
0. That way, I'm never booting a new kernel by default. I try a new
kernel when I have time to deal with issues and then make it the
default.
If you're booting number 1 and insert a new number 0, then what happens?
The old number 1 becomes 2, the old 0 is the new 1.
Isn't somthing broken here?
That aside, I think Fedora changes to boot the new kernel regardless of
what you do in menu,lst. Unless you fiddle in /etc/sysconfig/kernel, and
Steffen wouldn't be alone in overlooking that.
If not Fedora, then EL.
