Hmmm... where does this kernel come from? I installed the system a while
ago using a netinstall CD. 

I am 100% sure I did not accidently build my own. :-)

I disagree. The machine is a simple router on weak hardware. 
I use sarge with 2.6 on most servers, but this one is not a server and
should run with small and simple software.


So I will remove the -xfs kernel I do not know where it comes from and
install the original debian one. Then I'll get security updates.

Thanks for helping,
