Probably there is the /etc/boot.config file in your system, check its contetnt. I suppose it has just one line "/kernel" and it can be safely removed. 2. The kernel of your system and some of binaries on your system can be not synced, that is someone could just update only kernel and didn't update other parts of the system.
