    What exactly are the errors? And how does the "Debian way" not work? Are you reffering to apt?

    the normal debian way is very easy, and I have never had problems
    Code:
    apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.xxx
    Debian 2.6 kernel images

    Why donīt you use

    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade-distro

    apt-get dist-upgrade

    that is... unless your a big fan of error messages...
