How did you upgrade from kernel 2.6.8 to 2.6.18 through apt? My dvd has kernel 2.4 and 2.6.8 using linux26 at boot prompt. My apt did not have higher kernels.
There is another nice way to get this done. You can use Debian's kernel-package to compile a kernel for yourself using pristine kernel sources. In the process, you can choose to include new modules, remove unnecessary ones as well as add some patches. For example, You can add Con Kolivas' patches (for improved desktop performance), suspend2 or bootsplash. This is fun to do in Debian, and generates a deb file which is easy to install and remove.
HTH.
