No, the even are the stable ones ;) But the even second numbers. So, 2.0.x is
stable, 2.2.x is stable, 2.4.x is stable and so will be 2.6.x. The 2.4.19 and
2.4.21 being stable is more like a coincidence. IIRC, I have a 2.4.20 on my
PC164...

kernel-source should be enough. kernel-headers are only needed if you install
the kernel-image*. If you compile from source, you automatically have the
headers...
Do you use the debian-tool for compiling the kernel? Like make-kpkg?
