Ooooh.  Not nice.  Have you tried a recovery boot and told it to fix
broken packages?  Or you could boot of the 2.6.24-19 kernel, then go
into Synaptic and uninstall the 2.6.27-7 kernel.  Then reinstall it.
Or alternatively go to a shell and use apt-get to remove and then do
a reinstall of the 2.6.27-7 kernel. Or wait until somebody here that
knows a lot more than I do suggests something else.
