partition?  None have been forthcoming.

When you apt-getted the kernel, it should have placed the new kernel 
and the initrd.img in /boot, created symlink (vmlinuz and initrd) in 
/ that points to them, and then run lilo. When lilo ran, it should 
have warned you about putting "initrd=/initrd.img" in /etc/lilo.conf.


It should, and indeed it does whenever I upgrade the kernel.  But it
doesn't when you're downgrading the kernel, which is fair enough.
Performing these steps manually got it working.
Thanks a lot for your help!

For me, It wasn't so easy to upgrade. How can I see If I have upgraded 
my kernel to 2.6.X (i.e.).

I apt-get the kernel images, and I only see my 2.4 kernel (I think).
