An update on this: * I installed linux-image-2.6.15-1-alpha-generic via $ apt-get install -t testing udev linux-image-2.6.15-1-alpha-generic * I wondered why I was still booting the old kernel for a bit. * I edited the symlinks in /boot to point to the new image (the package edited the symlinks in /, which aren't used by my aboot.conf) * Booting 2.6.15 hangs just after reading the partition table on /dev/sda :-( I can investigate this more if desired, but probably not until next weekend.
