Unfortunately, the 386 kernel is produced by the linux-ports source package, as the Canonical kernel team do not consider it a kernel they shoudl continue to support, and have washed their hands of it. The ports tree in intrepid is currently 2.6.25.

It should be a matter of updating the configuration files and going from there, but I will have to look at this in my own time.

Thanks again for the report.
