I did discover the "fallback" option for GRUB. |

I don't think its exactly the same behavior as the above behavior. Maybe |

someone can offer more insight. My brief testing showed that if I had a |

typo in the grub.conf file where I pointed to the new kernel, fallback |
| 20 |
would fall back to another choice. Not sure how it would respond to kernel |
| 21 |
that failed because I compiled it with bad options. |
