I assume you're using BootX because you have a 9600. The copy of the kernel
which matters is the one on the Mac OS partition, not the one in the /boot
directory. Even though 2.2.17 was installed on your Linux partition, BootX
is loading the 2.2.15 kernel you have in your Linux kernels folder.
Copy the kernel in /boot over to your Mac OS partition, put it in the
appropriate folder, and configure BootX to use it instead of the one you
currently boot with.
