I've just compiled a new kernel, but when I reboot grub will not load the

Yes grub is install properly and yes the boot partition was mounted when
I copied the new kernel across and changed the grub.conf. What's really
confusing me is there's no syntax error in the grub.conf that I can see,
and the first kernel on the list boots fine. Anyone got any cluse as to
why grub can't see the second kernel?

I should probably give /boot a clean, but could this be the problem?
According to your grub.conf your default is the top entry, but the
kernel image for that doesn't exist in your boot partition.
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.22-r2-2 root=/dev/sda3
should probably be
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.22-r2 root=/dev/sda3
Thats if 2.6.22-r2 is the kernel your trying to boot.
