problem with fedora core 2 + 2.6.7 kernel

Okay, I found the 2.6.7 kernel for my linode under the kernel list, and made a new configuration to boot into that kernel with my fedora core 1 disk image. I selected that profile, hit the reboot button to tell it to boot into that profile, and it says it came up, however, i cannot SSH or telnet into it. everytime i try i get a "connection refused"

What did I do wrong? All i have done is yum upgrade to upgrade all of the packages for core 2, and then selected that 2.6.7 kernel in the configuration profile manager.

If I boot back into the profile with the 2.4 kernel, it comes up fine.
