I use both dselect/apt 's update chooing unstable main  and apt-get 
update , get the same result
dpkg      there are too many error

then I reboot , grub still show only 2.2.18 kernal, I also almost not 
see any difference from the env before update

how could I update / or upgrade to sid 2.4  kernal ?

highly appreciate your tech help for newcomer
