When you install a new kernel, a kernel image is installed in /boot.
In /boot you will see initrd.img and vmlinux. When you do an 'ls -l'
you will see that infact these are symlinks to a specific kernel image
in /boot.
So to use the newer kernel simply symlink the initrd.img and vmlinux to
their respective kernel versions. For example in my lenny system they
are:
initrd.img -> initrd.img-2.6.26-1-powerpc
vmlinux -> vmlinux-2.6.26-1-powerpc
Good luck
