But you still see 5.5....you have too many kernels

Something like this is possible if the new kernel did not transplant in
place of the old kernel.
In that case, you may have to remove the the extra kernel.
First you need to establish that you have the new kernel in place. Also you
need a back up /home/*.* plus anything else you would want.
I hope you have done this.
Can you check to see if you two kernels?
