How did you upgrade from kernel 2.6.8 to 2.6.18 through apt? My dvd has kernel 2.4 and 2.6.8 using linux26 at boot prompt. My apt did not have higher kernels.
apt-get install linux-image-2.6-486 OR apt-get install linux-image-2.6-686
The packages point to the latest 2.6 kernel image.
The installation also updates the grub menu.lst to include the latest kernel. Also note that the older kernel is never removed. So you can always revert if there's a problem.
