Thanks!  Now the newer kernel is fully installed and I am running it
now.  Still stops at grub prompt on boot.

menu.lst has interesting set of instructions:
title           Chainload into GRUB 2
root            (hd0,8)
kernel          /boot/grub/core.img

title           <C4><C4><C4><C4><C4><C4> (snip)
root
               
title           When you have verified GRUB 2 works, you can use this
command to
root

title           complete the upgrade:  upgrade-from-grub-legacy
root

title           <C4><C4><C4><C4><C4><C4><C4><C4> (snip)
root

I'm trying to find out if bug #484074 relates.
