Boris - thank you!

Success. What Boris described below worked - the second time. [The first time, it wiped out my grub menu and, being a relative newbie to linux itself, I was unable to rebuild it successfully, so I had to re-install. Lesson: Always make a copy of the grub.conf somewhere when doing kernel upgrades :)]
