Is there any method to have the Update Manager ignore kernel versions older than the one currently installed?

Question

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and recently installed kernel 2.6.38-generic-pae (version 2.6.38-15.66~lucid1), which works just fine. There is one small nuisance, however: The Update Manager continues to ask me to install new 2.6.32 kernel versions.

Pinning may be the answer: How to skip kernel update? I'd still appreciate any other suggestions.

The trouble is that I cannot get pinning to work. The Update Manager is still offering to install 2.6.32-x kernel versions, even when I "lock" my version 2.6.38 using Synaptic. Suggestions?
