Jude, You have been barking up a wrong tree. There is no way that any upgrade or dist-upgrade command will move you up to a new kernel version, no matter how you configure your sources.list file. To go to a new kernel version, you must do apt-get install kernel-package-name or the equivalent with aptitude. When the dust settles and you have rebooted, you can then do apt-get --purge remove old-kernel-packagename or equivalent. Fill in the blanks.
