If by the "kernel" you mean the actual kernel file corresponding to what
is bootstrapped, look in /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) . If you mean the
headers against which you must compile external kernel modules, look in
/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) . If the latter does not exist,
execute in a terminal (or use Synaptic):

$ sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

The kernel source, likewise, is in linux-source-2.6.8.1 (for Warty) and
linux-source-2.6.10 (for current Hoary) packages and installs a tarball
to /usr/src/ .
