I think that you just have to install the new kernel but to be honest I 
am not sure. See if you can find this thread :

  Installing 32 and 64 bits in the same machine


It may offer some insight as some people that responded seem to have 
both the 32 and 64 bit versions installed.
Be sure and post back the solution once you find it. This topic will be 
repeating it self  as more people migrate to 64 bit.

Good Luck!
