Use apt-get to install one of the precompiled kernel images that are
included in Sarge, e.g. kernel-image-2.6-k7 or kernel-image-2.6-686.
These meta packages depend on the latest available packages for Sarge.
If you use Grub, your boot loaded will be reconfigured automatically.
If you use lilo, make sure the bootloader is configured to use the
initrd image that is included in the kernel package.
