There's one built for sarge at:
deb http://apt.utsl.gen.nz/debian sarge all
Add that to your sources.list, then run something like this to see which
kernels are available:
apt-get update && apt-cache search kernel-image vs
The one there is based on 2.6.13, but is not built for athlon.

basically along the lines of:
apt-get install kernel-tree-2.6.8 kernel-patch-debian-2.6.8 \
module-init-tools kernel-package build-essential
vi /etc/kernel-pkg.conf # setup your maintainer e-mail
cd /usr/src
tar xzf kernel-tree-2.6.8.tar.gz
cd kernel-tree-2.6.8
cp /boot/config-2.6.8-2-k7 .config
export PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES
make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --uc --revision 1 \
--append-to-version -2-k7 binary-arch
Something like that will get you a package very similar to the standard
debian image. If it doesn't work, ping me back a personal e-mail or
jump on IRC (#vserver on irc.oftc.net) and we'll nut it out.

Sure, let's talk off-list about this too...
