Do your self a favor: As superuser edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. Comment out "hiddenmenu" so it looks thus # hiddenmenu Save the file. When you reboot grub will present you with a menu selection of kernel(s) to boot. P.S. You might want to change the "timeout=5" to "timeout=10" to give yourself a little room to make a decision.
