I too have two entries.  One for the current kernel and one for the old
that I know works.  I do mine manually tho.  I don't do the install
thing.  I'm assuming you do tho.  ;-)  Here is a list of my old kernels:

root@smoker / # ls -al /boot/bzImage-2.6.2*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2437912 2007-12-18 04:25 /boot/bzImage-2.6.23-r3-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2468952 2008-04-29 23:05 /boot/bzImage-2.6.23-r8-5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2456984 2008-07-10 17:11 /boot/bzImage-2.6.23-r8-6
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2363676 2008-08-05 22:43 /boot/bzImage-2.6.25-r7-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2359548 2008-08-12 17:59 /boot/bzImage-2.6.25-r7-2
root@smoker / #

I'm still using the old 23 version.  The 25 version makes KDE and my
mouse VERY slow.  I hadn't had time to figure out why yet.
