yes. I use a mix of debian-multimedia, 64studio, debian/squeeze and
debian/sid in /etc/apt/sources.list

You can furthermore tweak /etc/apt/preferences to favor certain
repositories over the other: eg

Package: *
Pin: release a=squeeze
Pin-Priority: 500

Package: *
Pin: release a=64studio
Pin-Priority: 550

Did you have an initrd for 2.6.31-rt10 when the kernel panic happened?

thanks,

Your hardware (including wifi) is supported by 2.6.31-rt10-multimedia.

The error "unknown-block (0,0)" could mean that
 a) the kernel module for your 82801 (ata_piix) is not loaded
  -> missing initrd ; create it
 b) hda1 is not your root device.
  -> specfify root=/dev/XXX  on the kernel commandline or in
  /boot/grub/menu.lst

(b) is unlikely since you are able to boot other kernels, with the same
grub defaults (unless you did some customization yourself of course)

HTH,
robin
