It is broken.  The pile of fixes for 2.6.26.1 (and maybe 2.6.26.2) is huge.
As expected.

The safe thing to do is to remain on 2.6.25 for now.  .13 has just been
released, and .14 should be around the corner, since there is at least one
important patch pending (which is also needed on 2.6.26 and 2.6.24, so even
Etch 1/2 has the bug).

It is probably best to just use 2.6.25 for Lenny.  It is a very good kernel.
