To install the kernel, make sure you have the testing repo enabled, and that you have refreshed the package list of course.
After that run:
slapt-get --install kernel-ck2 kernel-modules-ck2 kernel-src-ck2
Or download the packages manually from the provided links.
For those using LILO, don't forget to run
/sbin/lilo -v after the packages have installed, GRUB users don't have to worry about reinstalling the MBR.
Either way, its a good idea to make an additional entry to the LILO or GRUB menu for the "old" kernel, just in case you run into trouble.
If you have any modules you were using with your old kernel that had to be installed separately, such as the NVidia or ATI drivers, then they will have to be re-installed once you are running the 2.6.21-ck2 kernel.
Post any problems/feedback here.
