Using the Debian rescue CD, I installed the linux-image-2.6.32-5 and linux- base from Sid.
The install edited my fstab and lilo.conf files for me, putting in the UUID numbers for everything except lilo.conf boot=. I left that as-is /dev/sda but both variations, UUID and ata-ID had previously worked. Too bad the previous install did not fix this up for me. Might have saved a lot of grief, huh? The initrd (needed most, dep failed) needed to go into "highest memory" with scarey warnings but .... it worked. After a long bootup with loads of [mesages.....] (no untoward warnings or panics, however}, fsck balked but manual runs fixed that. I am now back up and running. Who knows, maybe the 2.6.34 kernel I compiled will run now? Thanks for all the help.
