Ok, thanks.. is there a way I can tell for sure which kernels I have installed. I have tried rpm -i and the 686 kernel name and it says already installed.. tried it with the 586 also and got same results... also tried rpm -e for each and it said "not installed" though I did the rpm -i again and it said it was, so I found it strange.
Thanks
Dave

Dave, You need the i686 kernel and not the i586 kernel.
Make your grub.conf look like this (leave all the remarked stuff, that begins with #, alone) :
default=1 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS 4.0 (2.6.9-5.0.3.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.img
title CentOS 4 (2.6.9-11.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.EL.img
#-----------------------------------------------
If, for some reason the new kernel doesn't boot, shift to default=0 in grub.conf.

The only available kernel that shows in the boot is the 2.6.9-5.0.3EL
why not 'cat /boot/grub/grub.conf' and 'ls -l /boot' and we'll give you the changes to make to /boot/grub/grub.conf
