I think I now know what caused all this in the first place. While
messing with real player I lost my sound. as part of that I thought it
would be good to install alsa. that process required the loading of a
kernel on which alsa depended. I'm pretty sure that is the case because
I have lost sound support again following an update to a bunch of
packages as a result of my efforts earlier today! Running aptitude to
have a go at installing alsa brought about (almost) the download and
install of a new kernel image.
Now I'm stuck on how to get sound back
