i was having the exact same problem - i think i remember fixing it
previously by erasing all the repositories from sources.list, then do a
"refresh" in synaptic, then try uninstalling that particular kernel
again ... maybe it will let you ... then you can put your sources.list
back together :)

btw - what's the difference between all the 2.6.8 kernels in planetedge?
i'm using the R9 one at the moment, which is doing pretty fine (not too
much testing yet) - but i'd like to try out a different version to see
if i can memory lock jack while running jack_fst ...
