Subject: Bad Linux-Vserver (CentOS) kernel?

Was there a problem with the kernel 
.6.32-44.2.el5.vs2.3.0.36.29.4.1.i686 from Daniel's CentOS repo?

I installed it quite awhile ago but did not get to the colo until a 
couple of weeks ago.

When I went to reboot the system to use the new kernel I kept getting 
errors about the image file not being found/broken and the boot 
partition not valid/unmountable.  Yada, yada, yada.  I can't remember 
the actual error and haven't had a chance to get back to it.  (I wanted 
to do some more research before asking for a clue stick.)

So while working on my presentation for Linuxfest Northwest I noticed 
notice a newer kernel -- 2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.vs2.3.0.36.29.6.10.i686; 
installed it on my system at home and it booted just fine.

But before I plan another trip to the colo (35 miles) to update all the 
machines there I hoping for some reassurance that that it was just a bad 
day for me and kernels.  :-)
