So I got the grub menu working, I just had to reboot for some reason and
it came up.  But I went ahead and got the 2.6.11 kernel and when I tried
to boot from it it froze right after I logged in.  I didnt change
anything etc. since last time(2.6.10 still works) is there some package
that I need to add to get 2.6.11 to work?  I have an ATI X300 video
card, 1 Gb Ram DDR-2, P4 3.0 Ghz if that helps...
