I need linux-image-2.6.18-5-amd64_*_amd64.deb, but it seems that
http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel
does not have such a build.
I don't have the time to build it myself, now.
Will the amd64 build be available on kernel-archive.buildserver.net in
the near future?


Moreover, I'm currently running Debian testing (lenny) and I'm waiting
for linux-image-2.6.20-1-amd64_*_amd64.deb to migrate from unstable to
testing.
According to
http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=linux-2.6
this migration is currently blocked by the usual 10-day quarantine, by
RC bugs, and by the migration of glibc (which, in its turn, is too
young, has RC bugs, and is in freeze...).

I wonder if I could just install linux-image-2.6.20-1-amd64_*_amd64.deb
from sid:

  $ wget http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.20-1-amd64_2.6.20-3_amd64.deb
  # dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.20-1-amd64_2.6.20-3_amd64.deb

Does a lenny box need glibc 2.5 to work properly with that kernel from
sid?  By comparing dependencies, it seems that the kernel is installable
on a lenny box:
http://packages.debian.org/testing/admin/linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/linux-image-2.6.20-1-amd64

What do you suggest?
