In sid, linux-image-686 no longer tracks the latest kernel, but instead tracks a kernel that has already been removed from sid! http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519028
I keep stable and testing in my /etc/apt/sources.list even though I mainly run unstable and also include the following for newer kernels:
deb http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel sid main deb http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel trunk main deb-src http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel sid main deb-src http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel trunk mainThen to customise a kernel, I download and unpack the source (available as linux-source-2.6.29 from the above repository) and use the /boot/config* file from its corresponding binary, copied to /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.29/.config, then run make menuconfig and then make-kpkg -initrd linux-image
Hope this helps...
