do you have any mention of the new kernel in /etc/grub.conf?

you might find that the default kernel is still the original one in
which case there would be a line like
default=1 in grub.conf
changing this to default=0 might bring up the new kernel on reboot
i have an old dual processor box that boots from the previous kernel
after updates for some reason which i haven't researched

That's probably because your /etc/sysconfig/kernel contains:

    # UPDATEDEFAULT specifies if new-kernel-pkg should make
    # new kernels the default
    UPDATEDEFAULT=no

Make the obvious change of "no" to "yes" if you want newly updated
kernels to become the boot default.
