Issues with apt-get listing newer kernels?

[ZiaTioN]

I just installed Fedora Core 1 on a couple more boxes at work and am trying to grab the newest 2.4 kernel using apt but have run into something I have not seen before.

[root@localhost root]# apt-get install kernel
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Selecting kernel#2.4.22-1.2115.nptl for 'kernel'
kernel#2.4.22-1.2115.nptl is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 removed and 0 not upgraded.

This is what I get when I try to list the available kernels. I have uncommented the required rpm repositiroes and even added yours void but I still get this. It appears it is choosing a specific kernel to represent the vauge "kernel" you use to list them. What is the deal with this and how to workaround?

I was able to duplicate this after some playing and I see two possibilities. 1) You didn't do an "apt-get update" after adding your repositories or 2) your sources.list file doesn't have the proper name (need to be either /etc/apt/sources.list or individual *.list files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory, and of course you have to do an "apt-get update" after correcting. During the "apt-get update" you should see it downloading the file lists from the proper repositories.

I was able to duplicate your message by making sure I only had one kernel installed and renaming my "sources.list" file to something else and then doing an "apt-get update". The key is, you're not getting the current file lists from any repository that contains kernel updates.
