Change the default in /boot/grub/grub.conf to a kernel that was working :) 

default=0 is the first kernel, 1 is the second and so forth.  Change default=X where is the line of the kernel that you want to boot 

[root at localhost ~]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda           
#                                           
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that                    
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.         
#          root (hd0,1)
