I have upgraded my kernel to 2.4.0-test4 ..
However, uname -a still shows me the old version ..
How do I change it ?

Did you run LILO again to pick up the new kernel and boot with it?

Where is the kernel version number stored anyway?  I'd think it would be
hard coded in at compile time.

I think it is stored in (heh heh) version.h.

Actually, I'm just throwing that out there.  I should mention that
the build number is hidden in a dot-file called .version.

While I'm poking around in ther kernel, the version is stored in 
inclue/linux/version.h in the symbol "UTS_RELEASE"

Unless you are using one of those satanic RedHat kenrnels, where it is
hidden in two places depending if you want the uniprocessor or
multiprocessor kernel.
