Thank you so much. Its easy when you tell me how to do it :) If I'd updated the kernel with your /opt/scripts/update_kernel.sh instead of using apt-get install linux-image- would all this have happened "automatically?
If so perhaps a little more details in the Kernel Upgrade section of the BeagleBoard:BeagleBoneBlack Debian Wiki about the shell script parameters would help with making a kernel selection. Thanks again for a quick and correct response to solve my issue! --wally.
