Hello You are using dpkg the wrong way. If you want to get information about installed packages, leave out the filename extension. Try
dpkg -l kernel-image*
to get a list and see how they are called. Your package probably is called kernel-image-2.4.22-nvidia
best regards Andreas Janssen
BTW, removing the package seems to work. The following would remove all traces of files that this package installed, right?
/usr/src# dpkg --no-act -p kernel-image-2.4.22-nvidia

Description: Linux kernel binary image for version 2.4.22-nvidia.
This package contains the Linux kernel image for version 2.4.22-nvidia,
the corresponding System.map file, and the modules built by the
packager. It also contains scripts that try to ensure that the
system is not left in a unbootable state after an update.
.
If you wish to update a bootdisk, or to use a bootloader to make
installing and using the image easier, we suggest you install the latest
fdutils (for formatting a floppy to be used as boot disk), and LILO, for a
powerful bootloader. Of course, both these are optional.
.
Kernel image packages are generally produced using kernel-package,
and it is suggested that you install that package if you wish to
create a custom kernel from the sources. Please look at kernel-img.conf(5),
and /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz from the package kernel-package
for details on how to tailor the installation of this or any other kernel
image package
