Hi,
  I'm new to ubuntu,before that i use slackware.

root# apt-get install -y linux-source
 Then I tried to compile a new kernel with make-kpkg.
  Successfully installed new kernel with dpkg.

root# dpkg -i ../*deb

Now I removed it for updates:
root# apt-get remove linux-image-...

It's really bad .. i forgot to use --purge to get rid of all things.

When i install bootchart, i found the problem.
root# apt-get install bootchart
--snip--
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31.4core2
Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.31.4core2
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31.4core2
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31.4-core2
Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.31.4-core2
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31.4-core2
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-15-386
--snip--

Anyway to purge it? ( Sorry i deleted my own deb packages.)

A dirty hack: 
root# mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.31.4core2
