Alan that did not work.
Erico, in your steps, did you mean:
apt-get install linux-source.2.6.XXX?

Is grub your boot loader? If so I would hit "e" at the grub screen to edit
your kernel and initrd lines. On my amd64 box I have symlinks in / that point
to the actual kernel and initrd. I would try...
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/md0 ro
and...
initrd /initrd.img
Just a shot, not sure if that will work there or not.
