I am using Debian with its Kernel 2.6.22-1-k7. I installed almost 
everyhting through apt-get. I used these servers for apt-get:

deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing-proposed-updates main non-free contrib

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ proposed-updates main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ proposed-updates main non-free contrib

I hope that helps. :)

Now, I just came up with an idea. I should try a new account and try to 
reproduce it. I will do that later tonight (still at work :().
