I don't think so. As I said, I did a net install from a chroot, like this:
% apt-get install debootstrap
% debootstrap sid /mnt/debian http://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64
.... etc. etc.....
uname -rm tells me:
2.6.10-5-amd64-generic x86_64
So I AM running a 2.6 kernel. The weird thing is that there are no
OTHER 2.6 kernels appearing in apt for installation.

Because I already had an Ubuntu amd64 live CD burned for
troubleshooting, meanign it was easier to do a net install from a
chroot instead of downloading, burning and booting an install CD. I
would have assumed that the system would be the same. Further, I don't
think that there IS an install CD for sid ... just for sarge. The
links on:
https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html
for sid point to an install CD for testing (etch) not unstable (sid).
But... perhaps I should start over with the install CD. It is VERY
weird that no 2.6 kernel-sources are showing up for me.
