Hmm, have you tried installing the kernel-image type of kernel and see
if it gives you errors?
I tried a kernel-image package from the sarge repo, but it wouldn't
install properly.
I know the boys from Sidux (sidux.com) use a modified kernel, if they
have this bug licked, it might be worth it to add their repos to your
default Sid's and move to sidux. (ask in the #sidux in the IRC (OFTC
server).
I'll look into Sidux, thanks.
