If I might pose a supplementary question, can anyone suggest why the
default kernel on my AMD Athlon 3200+ is a '-486' version whereas on a
Pentium III it's a '-686' version: this is directly from system
installation. My understanding of the hardware is that the AMD
processor is fully compatible with the Pentium IV and therefore a
'-686' kernel would seem appropriate.
You should use the '-k7' version.
So you should install the linux-image-2.6.18-1-k7 package (if you're
running sid)
