If you are running grub
you need 
default=x
where x is 0,1....

example:

default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-18.7smp)
   root (hd0,0)
   kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-18.7smp ro root=/dev/sda6
   initrd /initrd-2.4.20-18.7smp.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-18.7)
   root (hd0,0)
   kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-18.7 ro root=/dev/sda6
   initrd /initrd-2.4.20-18.7.img



 	default =0 means run 2.4.20-18.7smp
	default=1 means run 2.4.20-18.7

If you have lilo let us know so we can approach it from that angle.
