Hearty cheers.

Did the following:
- downloaded .deb files for linux-headers-server, linux-image-server
and linux-server (pro tip: get the right files for your architecture)
- sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-server_3.2.0.37.45_amd64.deb
linux-server_3.2.0.37.45_amd64.deb
linux-image-server_3.2.0.37.45_amd64.deb
- sudo update-grub
- hold breath and reboot

The machine comes up happily. An error message flickers on the screen
for a fraction of a second just before the grub menu comes up -- it's
too quick for me to read it. I'm going to play my "optimism" card and
assume that it's not a serious issue.

Thanks,
Roy.
