There's a /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-24.10-default and a /boot/vmlinux-2.6.8-24.10-default.gz - note the z v/s x in the file name and the .gz extension on one. I figured that the x meant "this is an initrd, load me into memory".
The vmlinux-whatever.gz is a regular kernel with debugging symbols in it. I believe there is a readme file somewhere in there that explains it. note that with a 2.6.8 kernel, $SUBJECT is wrong. 2.6.8 is from 9.2, not 9.3
