Configuring Grub
 
I installed a new kernerl (2.6.3) and I am not sure how to set up Grub to boot up with the new kernel (I am using Red Hat 9). I would like to have the option to boot the original kernel (2.4.20) or the 2.6.3, it this possible?

yes, it's easy...
Code:
title=Gentoo-2.4.22
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz-gentoo-2.4.22-29-12 root=/dev/hda1 hdc=ide-scsi vga=0x31A video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr
initrd (hd0,1)/initrd-1280x1024

title=Gentoo-2.6.0
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz-gentoo-2.6.0-01-01-2 root=/dev/hda1 vga=0x317 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr acpi=off noapic

When I got my 2.6 kernel I just did a make install and it put it in grub.conf for me. I think I had to make it default though...

my /etc/grub.conf
cat /etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,2)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
