Thanks for correcting this.

Really?! Maybe you're missing an initrd?! Although that should be
created automatically we had an issue with this in the past:

IIRC /etc/kernel-img.conf needs to have "do_initrd=Yes" which is set on
new 64studio/openDAW installations but may not be on by default on sid.
You can run
 `update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.33.7-rt29-multimedia-amd64; update-grub2`
manually after installing the kernel. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll
see if we can work-around this if it really is the issue.

64studio's 2.6.33.. has CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m so that should work even
though it's not the latest version.
