    Roberto,

    I responded to your personal email account.

    My CPU is a Pentium P5. The previous kernel name ended
    with -586.

    I didn't see any 2.6.8 kernels ending with -586 ao I
    loaded the -686.

    Tried the -386 kernel. The machine boots but Debian
    v3.1 doesn't come along with it.

    Herman
