I had a similar issue. My boot partition contained
a /boot/grub/menu.lst with the option:

title           Gentoo-2.6.20.r8 on /dev/sdb2 - hd1,1
root            (hd1,1)
kernel          /boot/bzImage-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/sdb6

but changes to /boot/bzImage-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 seem to have no effect.

The cause was the value for root ( (hd1,1) ) which pointed to a
different partition than the  partition mounted as / and which
held /boot. 

I had to mount hd1,1 which was /dev/sdb2 as /mnt/sdb2 and sure enough
in /mnt/sdb2/boot I found the image that was run at boot time.

I really need to tidy up my partitions!
