You need to recompile the kernel modules against the new kernel for
them to work. And /lib/modules is protected so that recompiling kernel
modules for new kernels won't remove the modules for the old kernel.
(Hint: there is a reason that /lib/modules has subdirectories numbered
by kernel versions.)
