I did an apt-get dist-upgrade, and my 2.4.27 kernel is gone from the /boot, and only the 2.6.7 is there(old), is there any way to update my kernel or go get the last one, I dont like the 2.6.7 it doesnt work right with my synaptics touchpad.

you may want to get a list of the different architectures to find the best package for your machine:
1) first su to root
2) apt-get update
3) apt-cache pkgnames kernel-image-2.4.27

but if your running and IBM compatible you can probably safely run:
apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386
