Yes, the Lenny release. After Lenny is released¹, a newer kernel will
hit unstable, though it will almost certainly not be 2.6.27.

If you don't want to build your own kernel, the Debian kernel team
provides unofficial 2.6.27 images, see
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel. You need to add the "trunk"
repository to your sources.list.

The 2.6.27 source package is available in the experimental repository
now. Compiled images are on kernel-archive.buildserver.net, see
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel .

I think 2.6.27 will enter Sid only after Lenny is released.

I put this in my sources.list, and ran "# apt-get update", but don't
see the .27 kernel, either in image or source form.

You need to s/sid/trunk/ as I tried to explain.

Come on, don't pretend to be stupid. Here's the hopefully correct line,
pasted from http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel:
deb http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel trunk main
What's up with you, Ron?
