It sounds like you need to update lilo.

as root:

1) make an entry in /etc/lilo.conf for the new kernel.  Kernel images are in 
/boot.  The entry should be something like:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35-2
        label=linux_no_apm
        root=/dev/hda5
        read-only

*make sure you leave the old kernel entry*

2) run lilo
3) reboot

You should have the new kernel now.
