Are you sure your package list is up to date? That is, you have run

apt-get update

before you try that?

Ok. According to the package directory

http://pdo.debian.net/cgi-bin/search...le&release=all

the latest version available is 2.6.8. So I think it should be

apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.8

I can see kernel-source-2.6.10 on the list at my PC as I am using the "unstable" branch and so see that version. The version available for the stable branch is 2.6.8.
