/etc/grub.conf if you use grub.
/etc/lilo.conf if you use lilo.

Thanks and you are correct. I figured it out and fixed it permanently, before reading your reply. I'm a happy camper again! Since I'd modified it in the grub menu, when booting, and it then booted OK,  I knew that it had to do with grub.... So, I modified the /etc/grub.conf entry for the new kernel (added acpi=off at the end of the line for the new kernel) and then I shut down the box. After powering back on, it booted into the new kernel, without any problem.   :-)
