grub



Recently I had to do a reboot. I get the following 'grub' screen

title        Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686

If I allow it to select default the computer seems to go into a loop. If I select any of the alternate except the very last option it seems to loop ie continuous reboot. Something has gone wrong but I don't know what -- if I put the # sign in front of all lines except the last set will that then become default and boot only kernel 2.6.24-1-686(single user mode)? I really don't want to play with grub but if I have a long power outage and the computer shuts down and I'm not around the darn thing will just reboot continuously and my wife who also uses this computer will have words to say about my choice of OS's.
