Patches now applied and kernel built fine.

First I am testing testing on an Amd64 laptop which needed m-a to 
compile the broadco-sta modules. The binary-arch_amd64_none_amd64 
procedure did not produce:

linux-headers-2.6.26-2-common_2.6.26-24_amd64.deb

which is a needed by:

linux-headers-2.6.26-2-amd64_2.6.26-24_amd64.deb

Pressing on I used headers common version from the online live Lenny 
repositories.

So far no Google-chrome kernel errors. More in a few days time.

PS: For future how does one build the official "headers common" package 
on Amd64?
