Non existent Kernel listed in Grub

[Giantsonic]

Hi, I recently upgraded to 10.04, but it gave me a heap of problems, so I've reinstalled 9.10. Everything seems to be working again, but Grub seems to think that the 2.6.32-24 kernel is installed.

When I try to boot it, it gives me a ton of errors that basically say it can't find what it's supposed to mount, so I'm assuming that it's left over from Lucid.

Thing is, I can't find the kernel in synaptic to uninstall it, but when I update grub, it still lists it as being there.....

How do I go about removing it from the boot menu?

10.04 uses GRUB2. Does sudo update-grub command detect 2.6.32.24 version?
Post the output of this

ls /boot/grub

This is what I get when entering that.

EDIT: Also yes, sudo update-grub shows 2.6.32-24
Here's the output

According to output, there is a kernel vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic in /boot.
Post the contents of /boot partition too.

ls /boot

So how do I go about getting rid of it, is it safe to just delete it?

[devils casper]

Remove it using Package Manager only. Open Synaptic Package Manager and type linux-image-2 in Search box. Mark it for removal and hit Apply button.

[Giantsonic]

It still isn't showing up in Synaptic though. How do I get it to show up?

[devils casper]

Did you click Reload button in Synaptic. Make sure to select All or Installed packages in Left pane of Synaptic.

I have "All" selected and it doesn't show, but when I click reload, I get this error:

W: GPG error: [ u r l = h t t p : / / p p a . l a u n c h p a d . n e t ]Index of /[ / u r l ] karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 39456311108B243F
