when you boot intrepid if only the 2.6.27 kernel shows in grub all you
have to do is through synaptic search for linux-image.  all kernels
available will be shown, you can install whichever you wish, and
menu.lst will be updated accordingly.  dont forget to install restricted
drivers for that kernel if your using anything restricted.  reboot, and
choose the kernel you want to use from grub.  good luck.
