Notes;
I have no kernel image or "real" Kernel .....Nothing in /usr/src DIR --
not even a /linux Directory present. I think I'm booting from a
mini-kernel - I notice 'cramfs' in dmesg at boot time (whatever that's
worth);
Of course you have a real kernel image; it's vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386, and it's
in your /boot directory, where it's supposed to be. Why do you suppose the
grub stanzas would lie about it?
What you don't have is the kernel source installed in /usr/src, which
you'll need, if you want to compile your own kernel, or any special
drivers/modules.
~$ dmesg | grep -i cram
RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (cramfs filesystem) readonly.
