As far as installing Sarge I'm setting up the machine to be a DHCP and registration server for a network. While I realize that most of the packages themselves are stable, I would prefer not to use sarge and have the packages in a constant flux.

I've been trying to install 2.6 from sarge, but have been running into some problems. I haven't been able to find PowerPC binary debs of module-init-tools for woody. I've tried taking the source packages from backports.org and recompiling for PowerPC, but they die with the following error:
Oh well. ...
dh_testdir dh_clean -k dh_installdirs bin/ sbin/ etc/modprobe.d/arch/ lib/modules/ dh_install --sourcedir=build-tree/module-init-tools-3.1-pre5/obj -p module-init-tools cp: cannot stat `lsmod': No such file or directory dh_install: command returned error code make: *** [install] Error 1
Mmm, ...
I was also not able to find PowerPC binary backports of initrd-tools, but the source packages from backports.org appear to have compiled properly on my woody machine. If you could point me to a PowerPC binary backport of module-init-tools I would be happy to install the 2.6.8 kernel from sarge. (However I don't want to upgrade the entire machine to sarge.)
Well, given that sarge will become new stable in a matter of a couple month, maybe you should give it a try. Did you try adding sarge to your sources list, and upgrade just module-init-tools, initrd-tools and the kernel-image ? Try adding it with the (-s ?) try-only option to check if it will bring in load of stuff or not, but i guess it will bring in the new glibc too.
Friendly,
