Not sure if this helps, but there are 2.6.20 debian kernels available at :

  snapshots: deb http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel {sid,trunk} main 

I peronsally just built a amd64_i386 2.6.20 based monolithic d-i, which i can
make available to you, no idea what processor is on your board though. 

I uploaded it to :

  http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i-2.6.20-amd64_i386.iso

(well, currently uploading, wait a couple of minutes before grabbing it).
