If they're supposed to be the same binary kernel (check the version  
string/etc on early boot), then it might be worth simply doing md5  
sums and seeing if they are the same (likewise loader binaries and  
kernel modules).

Is there any chance you have non-base system kernel modules installed  
in /boot/modules or the like?
