This is because either A, the kernel is stored somewhere else, or B, the boot link to the kernel is stored elsewhere(whatever tells it which kernel to use). If you know which it is, let me know.
The kernel is stored in a separate mtd partition (not on the rootfs!) so you'll need to back it up or restore it separately. I forget the exact partition number, and IIRC the layout is different from the N8x0s but /proc/mtd should tell you.
