forgive me - I'm very new to linux. I have a AMD Athlon64 3000+ chip, and I just installed Debian linux with kernel version 2.4.27-2 i386, so my chip is running in 32-bit emulation mode (to the best of my knowledge) I'd like to install the 2.6.8-11 amd64-k8 kernel, however, and use it. I tried to use aptitude to do this, and it downloaded the kernel image perfectly. However, I'm still *using* the older one. Would anyone mind telling me precisely, in very detailed steps for a newbie like me, how to switch kernels? I can try to answer any questions you might have about my current predicament, but I'd like to solve this problem. If I'm in the wrong mailing list, please tell me as well - I just thought this would be an applicable list.
Thanks for your time!
