You were all right, all along, I WAS booting the kernel according to uname -r and /proc/version i.e 2.6.27.10. The reason? I was using lilo, but it WASN'T the usual, ie. not updating lilo after changing kernel or config file, but: I had named both kernels, 2.6.27.10 and 2.6.35.4 - bzImage. This is how it appeared in lilo.conf and lilo would not separate them - booting the same kernel for both partitions. My fault entirely Anyway, this has inspired me to change to GRUB which I have now done. Thanks to everyone who gave advice.
