I just installed debians kernel-image-2.6.5-1-686 and am running it now. I replaced the sysvinit with the howto here: http://s95018669.onlinehome.us/knoppix/sysvinit.shtml
The current sysvinit on unstable is 2.85-15. Also I had to use initrd for the kernel in lilo.
I'll probably have a go at lm-sensors for it later, had enough for one day
