That's because backports.org is based on testing, not unstable. It's the same reason why 2.6.16 isn't available on backports.org yet, but I already prepared updated linux-image, udev and initramfs-tools backports on http://people.backports.org/~tretkowski/upload/ > some are seriously broken (linux-2.6 uses the same abiname as the > versions in sid/etch but provides a different abi due to the usage > of another compiler).

An updated version of kernel-package (and make as it's dependency) is also needed. Norbert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
