Grub: file not found

[Cody Smith]

also, for Grub (and most bootloaders for that matter) to find vmlinuz-linux
on a setup WITHOUT a separate /boot PARTITION (not just a directory), the
vmlinuz-linux file has to be at the root of the filesystem (i.e.
/vmlinuz-linux instead of /boot/vmlinuz-linux), this is because bootloaders
read the fs differently than the kernel and userspace tools.

if this is the case for you (which I don't know how this happened, the
debian packages should have put the image in the correct place
automagically), simply copy the file from /boot to / as root.
