You have two choices :
1) install 2.6.8 from sarge or 2.6.12 from etch, and then install 2.6.14 after
reboot. You will be forced to do something similar because of udev anyway.
2) install initramfs-tools and then install the 2.6.14 kernel.
Things are still in flux, and 2.6.14 will not enter etch until these upgrade
paths are solved.
