Yes, it was a kernel panic because the root fs couldn't be found.
As for the symlinks, I have no such links in /. No vmlinuz, no initrd.img. I'm using grub not lilo by the way if that makes a difference. I do have a vmlinuz in /boot which points to vmlinuz-2.6.9-9-amd64-k8.
Thanks, Rob

Hello,
can you describe the error? do you get a kernel panic because the root fs could not be found? does the initrd symlink in / exist?
you should have something like this in /:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Dec 4 13:32 initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-2.6.9-9-amd64-k8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Dec 4 13:32 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-9-amd64-k8
(and the same for 2.6.8 or any other debian kernel you have still installed).
