You probably didn't have any kernel metapackage installed or because 
there are no more k7 kernels. Try installing linux-image-2.6-686, this 
will always pull the latest 2.6 kernel. Old kernels have to be removed 
by hand.

If you have an AMD64 processor you might want to try the -amd64 kernel 
as well.
