Lets see...
/boot/vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.4.15-pre7
/boot/vmlinuz.old -> vmlinuz-2.4.15-pre7.old
That looks like new, and old to me...

All right...
I sortened my answer to fix your specific problem, but grub is working great
for this too...
There's also a nice util provided by the debian grub package that keeps this
up to date. All you have to do is modify your shutdown scripts, or modify
/sbin/installkernel
My response was terse, I admit. I must ask you though, why were you
complaining about boot loader settings that you say is already setup
correctly?
