Your root partition is sitting on the 1023 cylinder boot limit.  By
chance, the clusters for kernel.save are below the limit but the ones for
kernel aren't, so you're stuck using kernel.save until you can reformat &
repartition to make sure the root partition is below the 1024th cylinder,
which is about 500mb in.
