Ah, no, you are not.  if uname says you are running on 2.6.33.5, you
have booted a 2.6.33.5 kernel.  The question now becomes, where is it,
and where did it come from?  If you have no kernel RPM installed, then
where did your kernel come from.  I have both a kernel and a
kernel-headers package installed (in fact, I have a couple of kernels
installed) on most of my systems.

On my 1 F11 system, I have:

> kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586

and I'm running:

As you can see, I also have kernel-2.6.29.4-167 installed, but I'm not
booting it.

You need to look at your /etc/grub.conf file (or where it really lives
in /boot/grub/grub.conf) and see what kernels you system can boot from.
Perhaps that will shed some light on where your 2.6.33.5 kernel has come
from.  You haven't installed anything from another non-RPM source have you?

BTW, the following are current F13 kernels:

You, obviously, are running on x86_64 hardware.

I can't answer that without seeing more of your yum output (where is it
looking for kernels, etc).  But, if you are running a non-rpm kernel,
building/installing other software is going to give you miles and miles
of grief.  And finding/installing RPMs is going to be next to impossible
in cases like this.
