    Rebooting doesn't work, neither does "update-initramfs -u". Worryingly, the actual GRUB package doesn't seem to be installed . . . I've rebooted quite a few times since this problem cropped up, so I'm leery of rocking the boat too much by re-installing the grub package, but I'll take a stab at it if people figure that'd be the best course of action. Any other suggestions are definitely welcome . . .

    It seems that you have something wrong with Sources. Try Adept Manager -> Manage Repositories. Use Main Server, select all third Party Software and all updates on next page (even those Unsupported). apt-get update few times and it should find kernel... reboot and try. I will also study sources.list. I'm beginner but that what I'd do to start.

      First try
      Code:
      sudo dpkg --configure -a
      Then try the apt-get dist-upgrade again.

        Funny thing, I had tried each on their own before, but for some reason it hadn't occurred to me to try both at once! But together, things seem to have worked, thanks folks!

        (Although admittedly I have many things running on this computer that cannot be shut down yet, so the final conclusion of whether it worked or not will have to wait a bit).
