Yes it did, an dit still does (it was the default install kernel with etch).
I use both debian etch and fedora6 on this computer. With fedora
2.6.18 and 2.6.20 work as well, although boot on debian is a bit
longer (I think both distributions simply don't boot the same way and
the difference is not particular to this computer).
