Which kernel did it actually boot into?

I installed the lastest kernel:
kernel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.x86_64
and XFS module:
kernel-module-xfs-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5-0.4-2.sl5.x86_64
on a SL5.3 system. After rebooting, the kernel didn't know anything about
XFS, when my previous one still did. I saw Troy's note, so I uninstalled both
the kernel and XFS module. I enabled the `sl-testing' repo and updated yum.
I then proceeded to install both of the above packages again. I rebooted and
the new kernel still didn't know anything about XFS. Shouldn't the XFS module
been automatically included in the new `initrd' file? Did I do something out
of order or wrong? I want to make sure this doesn't happen again.
I manually ran the `mkinitrd' command and now the system boots fine with
the new kernel.
