Ahhh, I see said the blind man.  It seems that linux-image and linux-image-generic were rmed somehow, probably when I purged and reinstalled
the -15 generic kernel and nvidia drivers trying to resolve the notorious Karmic low res graphics issue.  I reinstalled the two and it also picked up the -16 generic kernel.  Now am happy again.
Thanks for the help as it never occurred to me to reinstall them.
