2.6.26 is in lenny/sid - can someone test it to confirm?
2.6.26-1-686 from lenny boots my DELL SC400 with 6.62 firmware on the
megaraid card.
The boot was quite slow, but I'm comparing to a bespoke kernel without
initrd, so that is not surprising.
I have hacked on the box in the past to include additional megaraid
drivers in the initrd config, so I can't say it a completely "clean
test", but I'd regard this as a fix (Stock 2.6.25 no boot, stock 2.6.26
boots). I will attempt a reinstall soon.
Blog comment here refers to what I believe are some duplicate/related bugs:

Minor clarification: Odd noises were because 2.6.26 introduces a PC
speaker driver into the kernel, and it has minor issues on this
hardware/software, and it became my default sound device because I was
using numbers not names for the devices in the "~/.asoundrc" file.
Switching the default sound device to the sound card resolved this, I
guess a lot of people will have similar sound issues with 2.6.26. I
assume most normal people don't care about audio on the SC400 or other
DELL server hardware.
Thank you Dann, your earlier comment of this helped me find the fix
mentioned, your prompt response and hard work are also appreciated.
