titan i've have followed your way to prevent using apt-get update to hold the kernel since i am using the lv version, but i still get:

The following packages will be upgraded:
kernel-modules-maemo
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/2854kB of archives.

is this supposed to be added on hold aswell or that can be safety selected to be upgraded?
