sources.list format

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. 

Chuck
