I had done this previously, but there was nothing wrong with it. However I 
also renamed the above to menu.lst.old and rebooted; it came up fine when it 
should have failed. So I took out /boot from /etc/fstab and it failed this 
time. So as there was obviously a real problem with boot I did a backup and 
re-install. I now have the ability once again to boot with different kernels. 
I have no idea what was wrong but there was a problem with /boot in that it 
saw the original installed kernel and that was it.

Thanks for the query and help, to all.
