RTFM, I know. I updated the kernel from the ISO image (mounted via
loopback on a RH 7.0 system) and I was able to fix the problem I was
having. I added the ISO image to "sources.list" & have "apt-get upgrade"
running so far without a hitch.

Wahoo!

P.S. The confustion I had about PALO, was wether or not it needed to be
run (like LILO) after changing /boot/vmlinux. The answer, BTW, is "no".
