There are actually multiple packages per 'kernel'. You can find them
with a command like this:
ken at neptune:~$ aptitude search 2.6.24-18 | grep ^i
i linux-backports-modules-2.6.24- - Ubuntu supplied Linux modules for
version
i linux-headers-2.6.24-18 - Header files related to Linux
kernel versi
i linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic - Linux kernel headers for version
2.6.24 on
i linux-image-2.6.24-18-generic - Linux kernel image for version
2.6.24 on x
i linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 - Non-free Linux 2.6.24 modules on
x86/x86_6
i linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-18- - Ubuntu supplied Linux modules for
version
You will then need to remove them in order to recover the space.
