Hi,
You might find some useful information in my installation-report...
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=340980
As far as I used them, the default kernels from testing and sid are OK,
apart from the fact that the sound driver is seriously broken and
crashes the system when it attempts to emit sound...
Best,
