In general I would stick to the kernel updates from your distribution
unless you are doing very special things.

Note that it might be a bad idea to run 10.10 for so long: 10.10 is not
a "long term support" release, so it's probably best to keep it current.

See this page for a description of the LTS releases and expiration in
general.

Vis-a-vis your updates, sometimes an explicit deliberate install of one
or two might then make apt-get install them all:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -u install linux-image-generic

and see if that changes things.
