I am running the sid kernels together with a backported yaird and udev (from
backports.org, since the one in sid/etch is not trivially backportable).

with the trivially backported yaird, the etch/sid kernel (and mkvmlinuz)
version 2.6.15, 2.6.16 and 2.6.17, install cleanly on a sarge system. But
without udev, some events don't work cleanly, so you need to get the udev out
of backports.debian.net or whatever it is called and rebuild that too.
