Umm. This should not happen. Since /lib/modules/2.2.17 shall
be clobbered with the new modules. If the modules were the same, you
should have been warned on install.

If the modules were actually clobbered, you may not have a
bootable old image left. Indeed, you shall not, since there is only
one /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17

I think something is missing. If you replace a kernel with the
same version, you end up with one /boot/vmlinuz-$VERSION, and one
/lib/modules/$VERSION. You can move the /boot/vmlinuz-* around, but
the kernel shall still look in the same old place for its modules.
