thanks Simon,
	that's really usefull - I'll download and install a new kernel then ...

I looked at piloto-link on packages.debian.org and it looks like it's 
being help up by what look like a couple of minor changes

perl is out of date on m68k: 5.8.1-3 vs 5.8.1-4
glibc is out of date on i386: 2.3.2-8 vs 2.3.2-9

but it's been delayed for a month already so maybe I won't wait.
