IF you upgrade to SARGE, install the default kernel 2.4.27 because
it works better then the 2.6.8.
The 2.4.27 is realy stable but unfortunatly the Kernel Maintainers
do not like to upgradet to 2.4.28 or 2.4.29 because 2.4.27 will be
the default installations kernel for the debian-installer.
I am running self compiled 2.4.27 (source from backports.org) on
all machines without any problems.
