Yep, it looks like Kernel 2.6.7 is no longer in Sarge. I would suggest
installing kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7 and kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-k7 so
that you can take advantage of security updates.

Done!

Other than the fact that, after finding gcc-3.3.5 and complaining that it wasn't 3.3.4, it went and used the gcc symlink to gcc-2.95, everything is now working. I did have to change the symlink, but it was probably about time to do that, anyway. VMPlayer is now working and I can play around with a whole new bunch of toys. Now all I need is about 48 hours in each day!
