Can't install new kernel

From the last week i can't install new kernel.
After making a apt-get upgrade i lost my previous kernel. And now trying to reinstall it. But getting error. Then i tried another one. Same result

Code:

This may be benign, (You may have versioned symbol names, for instance).  │
 │ Or this could be an error. depmod exited with return value  . , and got   │
 │ a signal 127 , and dumped core Since this image uses initrd, I am not     │
 │ deleting the file /lib/modules/2.6.15-1-686-smp/modules.dep. However,     │
 │ there is no guarantee that the file is valid. I would strongly advice     │
 │ you to either abort and fix the errors in depmod, or regenerate the       │
 │ initrd image with a known good modules.dep file. I repeat, an initrd      │
 │ kernel image with a bad modules.dep shall fail to boot.                   │
                                                                            
 │ Do you want to abort now?

And then if i am giving no (to continue) then:

Code:

Selecting previously deselected package linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp.
(Reading database ... 124918 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp (from linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp_2.6.15-7bpo1_i386.deb) ...

Are you sure?
Normally apt will never remove your old kernel and its entry in GRUB/LiLo (so is it really gone or just unbootable).
