It can't just be us two that have had this issue.
I don't have this issue. It was just standard advice on how you go back to an older kernel.
And yes, I've tried altering the root= lines to match the working kernel,
and I gave it after reading that line. It's easy to mistype or do something else wrong to the file when editing that much. Just changing the default to boot that supposed to be working kernel gives much less source for mistakes. If it then still doesn't boot it's more likely that it's got nothing to do with the kernel version.
