You don't.  You are missing at least 2 lines at the top, and one line is 
duplicated, which probably is not an error.

The two lines you are missing are:

default 0
fallback 1

And you should have left the previous kernel entry below this one so it could 
be entry #1.  Restore it to grub.conf if it still exists in the /boot 
partition.  Grub uses a base zero numbering system, and I have not found an 
upper limit, having had as many as 30 entries in mine back when I had a 250 
megabyte /boot partition.
