kernel upgrading is always a critical process. with arguments to yours,
you keep "distinct" your kernel from "mainstream" one.
this not prevent "dist-upgrade" from upgrading your kernel if it's
required, but, instead "overwriting" the kernel, simply "install" also
that version and make it the default in silo.
before rebooting, you may so work around silo.conf and decide yourself
if you want keep _your_ kernel, use the mainstream, or whatever.
(after modifying silo.conf rembember to run silo for installation).
i.e., my silo.conf right now look that:
partition=1
root=/dev/sda1
timeout=100
read-only
image=1/vmlinuz
label=linux
image=1/vmlinuz.old
label=old
image=1/vmlinuz.safe
label=safe
where vmlinuz* are all links at various kernels in /boot.
