Is /boot a separate partition? 

Then it's not "kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86..."

it is

kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86...

and grub.conf is a conventional file. Boot properly (off a Live CD if you have 
to), edit the file as root, save like any other time. Then check if your 
kernel file on disk really is the name you have in grub.conf. It's highly 
likely it isn't and you just blindly copy-pasted an example. I don't think you 
have a 2.6.24 kernel on a recent box.
