Re: Missing packages or modules for Sid 2.6.X kernels?

Hi,
I use Debian Sid pre-packaged kernels on my Dell laptop. 
When a new binary kernel package comes out I do a 

apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686 kernel-headers-2.4.26-1-686 \
kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.26-1-686 lm-sensors-2.4.26-1-686 \
nvidia-kernel-2.4.26-1-686
and then edit my GRUB menu.lst and I'm done. However,
I have trouble getting 2.6 debian pre-packaged kernels running.
There seem to be only two packages for 2.6, kernel-image, and
kernel-headers. When I install these
apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.6-1-686 kernel-headers-2.6.6-1-686
and then try to boot into 2.6.6, I get kernel panic because,
apparently, none of the kernel modules were installed and the kernel
does not like that. 
 

I have maybe a similar problem.  Are they not installed or is the (many) 
error message:

modprobe: FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.6-.../kernel/...  Read 
only file system

The modules are part of the pre-packaged kernel package and should be 
automatically installed.
