Hi,

my grub.conf:

default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.23.1-42.fc8)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img
title Fedora (2.6.23.1-21.fc7)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-21.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.23.1-21.fc7.img
title Vista
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

notice, that this is after the last kernel update. Before that update
default was 0. Rpm mentioned that I had changed this and changed it to 1
to have the same kernel as default.
