I am a new user, but I would guess that 263-7 would boot
vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk (version 2.6.3)
linux is probably just a symlink in /boot:
vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk
2421-013 is probably your old linux
vmlinuz-2.4.21-013mdk
I don't know where the GRUB config files are /boot/grub or /etc/grub
but looking at it should clear up the relationships even if you don't
understand all the grub configuration.

You might try using the Mandrake Control Center to stop duplicate
services.
