I bet you already have installed the linux-image-2.6-486 package which is a virtual one which points to "whatever is the highest current linux-image for the 2.6-486 branch". This is usually quite usefull since it avoids you to know what such current package is. Since you don't want to get such a "most current package", remove the linux-image-2.6-486 one if it's in fact already installed. From then on you'll need to specifically look for and manually install any new higher kernel on that series, but that's exactly what you want, isn't it?
