Do an apt-cache search kernel | grep 2.6, and choose the version you want to use.
apt-get install kernel...
reboot,
try again.
I'm assuming that it's kernel-image that's required (kernel-doc, kernel-headers, kernel-patch, kernel-source and kernel-tree are also available). I seem to run into dependency issues whether or not I choose a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel:
$ sudo apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.26-sparc32

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
libdb1-compat: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5-13) but 2.2.5-11.5 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
$ sudo apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-1-sparc32

Name Service Switch has changed in the C Library: pre-installation question.
Running programs may not be able to do NSS lookups until they are restarted.
Some services can not accept all authentication after extracting glibc
package into your system. This script automatically restarts some packages
for example ssh or telnetd, but other packages for example xdm
cannot restart because if it restarts automatically, then your X11 session
is disconnected. So you have to logout and stop xdm; you have to
restart all such services after upgrading glibc with your hands.
Known packages that are needed to stop before installing glibc 2.3:
xdm kdm gdm postgresql xscreensaverThis script does not detect services which need to stop. If you want to stop upgrade for the present, please answer the below question as No.
Do you want to upgrade glibc? [Y/n] y
WARNING: You have a cpu which requires kernel 2.4.21 or greater in order to install this version of glibc. Please upgrade the kernel before installing this package.
You should be able to install the latest version of the
sparc kernel-image in order to satisfy this need. You
can also download and compile the latest kernel source
yourself from a kernel mirror (see http://www.kernel.org/).
