Yes, the problem was caused by bad quotation marks by pasting commands into it, following a procedure that was outlined at:

I was following the procedure that follows: "
Problem
The logo looks fine when you install Ubuntu, but, after you install the proprietary Nvidia and ATI video drivers,"

Doing a simple cut/paste of the commands pasted quotation marks that apparently unrecognizable by the machine. Once I had replace the pasted marks by typing quotation marks, I then ran update-grub and re-booted, but still didn't have 2.6.32-22 available to me. The newest kernel was still 2.6.31-20

I went to:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275

and tried: "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg"

after reading this:

"To update the GRUB 2 menu, the command sudo update-grub will be used throughout this guide. update-grub actually runs the command "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" This runs several scripts and incorporates the results into /boot/grub/grub.cfg which detemines what is seen on the screen during boot. Since the GRUB 2 developers do not intend to remove the update-grub 'stub', it will be used for simplicity and ease of use."

The grub.cfg file was successfully updated, and when I re-booted, I had the 2.6.32-22 kernel available to me.

Problem appears to be solved, thanks.
