If you want to run the new kernel you have just installed, you should
reboot. But if you still get the old kernel after the reboot, you
probably have modified the grub configuration. For your ancient version
it is in "/boot/grub/menu.lst". Anyway, I hope you know that version
9.04 is no longer supported [1].
