moved the whole system.
Thank you for the extra information, very useful.

Hi Rob,
I'm on the list, so there's no need to mail a copy of list mail to me
personally as well. Thanks.

You don't need to upgrade everything to unstable just for one kernel
package. It may be a good idea, but I don't think it is necessary. You
can download and install that package manually. Alternatively you can
put both the 'testing' and 'unstable' lines in your sources.list. Then
define your default release in /etc/apt/apt.conf:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
Then maybe add some package pinning to /etc/apt/preferences.
For details see the APT-HOWTO, which could be in:
/usr/share/doc/Debian/apt-howto/apt-howto.en.html
Else look at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/
See paragraphs 3.8 and 3.10.
HTH,
