OMFG!
How can you *not* point to the /boot/vmlinuz symlink?!!! It points directly to the latest kernel. And, /boot/vmlinuz.old points to the previous kernel.
Here are some examples: This is *just too simple*!!!
Lilo: image=/boot/vmlinuz label=vmlinuz read-only # restricted alias=1
image=/boot/vmlinuz.old label=vmlinuz-old read-only optional append="single" # restricted alias=3
Grub: title Debian GNU/Linux, Latest Kernel root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro vga=extended
title Debian GNU/Linux, Latest Kernel (recovery mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro single vga=extended
title Debian GNU/Linux, Previous Kernel root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz.old root=/dev/hda1 ro vga=extended
title Debian GNU/Linux, Previous Kernel (recovery mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz.old root=/dev/hda1 ro single vga=extended
