qtmoko: stuck at no more processes left in this runlevel

[robin]

so apparently there is something wrong:
# uname -r
gives
# 2.6.34-qtmoko-v55

so I got your kernel:
# wget http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/debian/gta02/armel/linux-image-2.6.39-
qtmoko-gta02_58-1_armel.deb
and installed it:
# dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.39-qtmoko-gta02_58-1_armel.deb 

but I still have the same situation: boot stops at 
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel (installed on SD card if 
that makes any difference

I checked
# uname -r
but I still got
# 2.6.34-qtmoko-v55

so I went for:
# dpkg -i --force-all ./linux-image-2.6.39-qtmoko-gta02_58-1_armel.deb 
(Reading database ... 28623 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace linux-image-2.6.39-qtmoko-gta02 58-1 (using .../linux-
image-2.6.39-qtmoko-gta02_58-1_armel.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement linux-image-2.6.39-qtmoko-gta02 ...
Setting up linux-image-2.6.39-qtmoko-gta02 (58-1) ...

but still no luck and I still have:
root at neo:~# uname -r
2.6.34-qtmoko-v55

so how do I get that kernel updated?

ps: If I go
# apt-get dist-upgrade
I get
# 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
so everything seems to be up to where it supposed to be?
