Detecting/Removing Kernel

Ok so, the kernel was updated when I was installing updates and I when I tried to remove the old kernel. It gave me an error telling me to rerun grub boot loader or something and when I tried to detect the kernels, I found that the kernel was still in the records but not when the computer was starting up.

<name>@Ubuntu:~$ dpkg --list | grep linux-image
rc linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic 2.6.24-16.30 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.24 on x86
ii linux-image-2.6.24-18-generic 2.6.24-18.32 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.24 on x86
