For what it's worth, that's super easy these days. All modern Linux
AMIs on EC2 should be using PV-GRUB. Just adjust the GRUB 0.97
configuration file in /boot/grub/menu.lst to point at your new kernel.

I have seen some OEL AMIs that, for some reason, have a partition
table and /boot on a separate partition. This means that the
configuration file is in /boot/boot/grub/menu.lst.
