What bootloader do you use?  BTW, you can install the new kernel but
still use the old one until you adjust your bootloader to use the new
one.

I use grub, and the following section works fine for initrd enabled
kernels :

##########
title       Debian GNU/Linux (stock kernel 2.4.9)
root        (hd0,0)
kernel      /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-686 root=/dev/hda4 read-only initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.9-686 apm=on devfs=mount
initrd      /boot/initrd-2.4.9-686
