The latest kernel version in unstable is 2.6.18. You do know that the kernel packages got renamed from kernel-image to linux-image at some point, right? :-).

Yeah, I was convinced i did a dist-upgrade but not :)
Now I've upgraded from 2.6.8 to 2.6.18 but I get this error if I boot with the new image:

NVRAM: Low battery voltage!
CLOCK: Clock was stopped. Kick start

Boot with 2.6.8 is ok.
As far as I can see, this message is in time.c from kernel sources... What if I'll comment those lines? Is it a dirty procedure or it's safe?

I can confirm this on my SunBlade 100 too. It appeared in 2.6.17. Last known-to-work version is 2.6.16 even if I can't make the aty framebuffer work again when compiling with gcc-4.1 (which, BTW, is default for sid as of now).

I've tried to bypass the check of NVRAM by comment the functions in time.c and removing all the references. This time freezes in "Booting Linux", it seems those functions are mandatory.
I've attached the commented lines.
If everyone is experiencing issues with those kernel releases, maybe it's better to remove them from unstable.
