ObSomething: please change your addressbook to
<linux-disciples at lists.bostoncoop.net>, until we can figure out how to
get Postfix to automatically rewrite as such.

You probably never installed grub in your boot sector.  Just installing
the Debian package has no effect.  You need to do grub-install and
update-grub.

Very unlikely that this has anything to do with a non-Debian kernel. 
I've never used a Debian packaged kernel, and it's never had any
repercussions.  You're still use a DEB kernel, in any case.

Did you get Lilo out of unstable?  My best guess would be version
incompatibility.

Grub generally works better anyway, so I would suggest just switching to
that.
