Hi
Can anyone point me to a simple howto on upgrading from Kernel 2.4.25 to
a 2.6 Kernel on Debian. I have attempted this in the past without any
success and would appreciate any help that I can find!

The easy way is to use a Debian kernel image
'apt-cache search kernel image | grep 2.6' select the appropriate image 
then apt-get install it.
You will need to include a initrd statement in your bootloader.
In lilo it would look like this:
image=/vmlinuz
       initrd=/initrd.img
       label=Linux
       read-only
