I'd be surprised if you even got it from oldstable; the 2.2 kernel shipped with woody was 2.2.22, and there was no 2.2 kernel shipped with sarge for alpha (or any architecture other than m68k). > I also see that a kernel version of 2.6.X is available.

But you may have trouble upgrading straight from 2.2 to 2.6, and may need to upgrade first to 2.4, reboot, and then install 2.6. > 2.
