We're currently running stable on a system, but we discovered that some devices (e.g. sound) aren't recognized with the 2.6.8 kernel. I think these problems would be solved if we could install the 2.6.16 kernel in unstable. Is there a simple way to install 2.6.16 without upgrading a whole bunch of other packages? Thanks for any help.
I'm running 2.6.16 on "stable" right now. Just download the vanilla kernel source from http://www.kernel.org/, compile it and use it.
I did this outside of Debian's packaging system so that apt wouldn't attempt to turn my system into a mixture of Sarge and Sid.
