Package: linux-image-2.6-686 Version: 2.6.18+6 The package description (and similarly that of linux-image-2.6-686-bigmem, linux-image-2.6.18-4-686, linux-image-2.6.18-4-686-bigmem packages) is this:
'Linux kernel 2.6 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4 This package depends on the latest binary image for Linux kernel 2.6 on Pentium Pro/Celeron/Pentium II/Pentium III/Pentium 4 machines.' Which kernel package do you choose if your computer just says 'Intel Xeon' or 'centrino mobile technology' on the front? I propose the package description of this and the other -686 kernel packages be reworded to this which I believe covers the architectures more clearly: 'Linux kernel 2.6 image on Intel PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4/Xeon This package depends on the latest binary image for Linux kernel 2.6 on Intel Pentium-Pro/Celeron/Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Pentium III/Mobile Pentium III (PIII-M)/Pentium III Xeon/Pentium 4/Mobile Pentium 4/Mobile Pentium 4 M (P4-M)/Pentium 4M/Pentium 4 Extreme Edition/Xeon (32-bit)/Xeon MP (32-bit)/Pentium M (a part of Centrino) machines.' And what about Intel Core Solo and Core Duo, is this package optimised for them?
