do you have everything you need compiled in? Filesystems of root/boot
partition, IDE controller etc? I you have them as modules, do you have
initrd-tools, and have you created an initrd image?

backports.org has a kernel-2.6 package that will pull in kernel-image, a
module-init-tools that coexists with modutils, updated hdparm and
everything else you need. Boots for me, however pppd fails to open a pty
for me with all 2.6-kernels I tried (backports.org's image,
selfcompiled, ...).
Would be happy to hear your experiences :)
