Hi,

| 2.6.8.1-4-k7
| 2.6.9-1-k7

Obviously you use Hoary-Repositores. You have two kernels because
upgrading to 2.6.9 doesn't mean uninstalling 2.6.8, Ubuntu won't use it
any more, but it remains installed. So probably 2.6.8.1-4-k7 was already
installed. The meta-package linux-k7 always installs the current
k7-kernel, in this case it has additionally installed 2.6.9-1-k7.

Actually a system restart should boot your new kernel because the kernel
image install script usually configures the bootloader to use a newly
installed kernel as default.
Optionally you can uninstall linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-k7 after confirming
the new kernel works the way you want it to.
