Don't forget to install linux-386. Technically, I don't guess it's
needed, but for the sake of troubleshooting it's probably a good idea to
have it since it's installed by default.

The version I have installed in 2.6.15.24. Everything else matches up.

Can't say for sure as I use the us.archive mirror and I haven't had
problems with out of sync package dependencies. Being fairly new to the
Debian way of doing things, I haven't learned about all the tricks and
pitfalls associated with Debian package management yet. Now that the
repos are back, I guess you could go to another mirror and download the
updated linux-restricted-modules-386 and
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-26-386 packages and install them
manually and see if that gets you back in sync.
