2.6.32-5 is the latest kernel in debian squeeze on my architecture. The
NSLU2 is an old bit of kit and no longer manufactured. Support is
limited.

I guess I'll bite the bullet and try installing debian testing (wheezy)
first and if that fails, build my own kernel.

But once again, many thanks for your help.
