Before you set this to a higher value, which is generally a good idea,
you should first check how large your /boot partition is and work out
how many you have space for. If /boot is just a directory in / then OK,
but often /boot is a small partition on its own, and thus will only be
able to accommodate a certain number of kernels...

The installer gives you a warning if you make /boot smaller then
75M, and grub itself uses 220K, so this should not be a problem for
most users. If you figure 6M for each kernel, initial RAM disk, and
system map, you should have room for at least 12 kernels. (6M allows
for a larger then normal initrd file.)
