Now the 2.6.9 kernel-source package is in unstable and you are in woody.

I note the former depends e.g. libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4) and you should 
have binutils (2.12.90.0.1-4).

I think you should upgrade to Sarge first and then go to kernel 2.6.9

What is the reason you are staying in Woody and going to kernel 2.6.9?
