UPDATE: By the way, initrd.img is 4.9 and vmlinuz is also 4.9 . So why doesn't uname also give me 4.9 ?
SOLVED: Dummy me! I forgot to update grub after I updated the kernel. DOH !!!!!
UPDATE 2: Also had something strange happen, before I updated grub. When I tried to boot Debian 9 I got a message something like this:
Code: Select all
Attempt to read or write outside the boundary of hd0
After updating grub all is well.
