NO! and it becomes starnger, yesterday I took another look at this and 
thought that lilo might be installed. Went to lilo.conf editted it called 
lilo and it told me that it was not active and that grub was. So I went to 
menu.conf and took OUT all ref to 2.4.13 kernel. Rebooted called uname -a and 
it told me 2.4.13, sheesh.............. 2.4.18 is in boot and I have modules 
its all installed but cannot access it.
BTW I have done a grep <whatever> command to tell grub to reinstall the new 
menu.lst in the boot choice but nothing.
