I solved my grub/kernel issues.
It turns out that "/etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme" was pointing to a
background image file that didn't exist. That was causing update-grub
to fail, which prevented either grub or kernel updates from succeeding.
To correct the issue,
1) copy a background image file into /usr/share/images/desktop-base
2) type: sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
3) Add you image filename to the line "for i in
{/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base}/YOUR IMAGE FILENAME.{png,tga} ; do"
4) save
5) type: sudo update-grub
