'Split kernel' linux on Sun's new Workstation

'Split kernel' linux on Sun's new Workstation

Sun today announced the Sun Blade 1700. The new workstation ships with
Sun's latest UltraSPARC IIIj processor - code-named RedHotChilly -
running at 3.06GHz. The system costs under $1,000 with one processor,
1GB of memory and an 80GB disk.  It comes pre-loaded with Redhat's
much vaunted 'split-kernel' linux, which apparently doubles the rate
of core stack dumps.

1. 'uname' is not updated after installing new '2.4.20' kernel??

hi;

using gentoo RC2.

I was using kernel 2.4.19.

when I did emerge 2 days ago, it downloaded a new kernel 2.4.20.

Ok, So I went to /usr/src and made a link to the new directory
and configured new kernel and build it (and modules, modules_install
etc...)
as I have done zillon times before:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root  22  Mar  4 09:37 linux ->
linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r1
drwxr-xr-x   16 root     root  840 Mar  4 09:36
linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r10
drwxr-xr-x   16 root     root  840 Mar  4 10:02 linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r1

next, as usuall, I copied the newly compiled bzImage to /boot/bzImage

total 3944
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1485414 Mar  4 10:05 bzImage
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1283810 Mar  1 18:48 bzImage.old

next I rebooted. btw, I am not using lilo, but the other boot manager
I think it is called grub.

so, after I shutdown the system and boot, I select as before the file
/boot/bzImage using the command

now, when the system is up, I do 'uname' expecting it to say 2.4.20,
but
it is still saying 2.4.19 !

Linux mymachine.mydomain.com 2.4.19-gentoo-r10 #2 SMP Sat Feb 1
17:17:15 PST 2003 i686 Intel(R) XEON(TM) CPU 2.40GHz GenuineIntel
GNU/Linux

How could this be? is there another method to verify which kernel
version
I am running??
