Did you run LILO after you installed the kernel? If you didn't you are
probably still booting into your old kernel. If you run `dmesg` you will
get a list off all the boot-up messages; the first one will include the
data the kernel was compiles. If you enabled modules you should have
/proc/modules even if it's empty (assuming you have /proc mounted).
