ay yi yi! you did it the hard way. download this ISO:
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc3/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
it's pretty darn small: ~100mb IIRC. boot with it, and then it grabs the software it needs over the net. obviously, you need broadband. much easier. and it uses the new installer.
note the manual:
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/
and the faq:
http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerFAQ
when i did it, i got the 2.6 kernel. i don't remember HOW, but i don't remember having to look all over the place. ah ... found it:
"If you want a 2.6 kernel, type linux26 at the boot: prompt"
there ya go.

_______________________________________________Howdy folks!
I downloaded the first four CD's (only used the first 2) and test installed Sarge on an old machine. I thought it was suppose to be the 2.6 kernel but, apparently it's either 2.4.27 or that is just the default. I was wanting to use 2.6 as I believe it is suppose to be faster and has more hardware support. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks, Bob
