just check your grub config to make sure it is pointing to your kernel image with cat /boot/grub/menu.lst You are looking for an entry with a line like kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27-12-generic root=UUID=##################### ro\ quiet splash If there is an entry with something like that all should be fine to reboot.
