Run "uname -a" (and also "uptime") and post the results.  After a kernel
package is upgraded, you do have to reboot to run the new kernel, and
uptime will tell us how long ago you did that.

It's important to note that the kernel package name is *not* the same
as the exact kernel version.  That's why you want to run "uname -a".
It will show both of them.

The kernel package name 3.2.0-4-amd64 refers to the ABI (module
compatibility) of the kernel.  A module built for any kernel with this
package name will work with any other version, so you don't have to
rebuild all of your third party kernel modules every time you upgrade
the kernel.
