RE: Debian Sarge - kernel 2.6 problem

[Žáček Kryštof <Krystof.Zacek@i.cz>]

write this line:
    deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing  main contrib non-free
to /etc/apt/sources.list

then

# apt-get update

To see the list of available kernels packages:

# apt-cache search kernel-image

or

# apt-cache search linux-image

choose the kernel package, e.g

# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.12-1-686 

finally read something about debian apt system :-)
