kernel upgrade with yum

After running yum upgrade on our server, the kernel was upgraded but not loaded.

Now, I realize some of the following information is out of date for a FC4 setup, but this should help in finding out how to get the new kernel to load.

FC4 is new to me so I still don't know some of the necessary commands.
uname -a
