Grub is not loading the correct kernel

All

I am trying to get RHEL 5.4 to load to the XEN enabled kernel but I am not having much luck. My grub.conf looks like it has 2.6.18-194.11.3.el5xen as the 1st one but when I do a uname -a I get the NON xen enabled kernel. I know I am doing something stupid but if anybody has any recommendations on where to start looking I would appreciate it.

Thanks In advance

Code:

 uname -a
Linux XXX.5XXXXXXX.com 2.6.18-194.11.3.el5 #1 SMP Mon Aug 23 15:51:38 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
