Now that my new hp xw9300, dual opteron system is up and running, I give
thanks to all of you who have steered me in the right direction.
Thank you.
Now, I have this kernel booting:
# uname -a
Linux odin 2.6.15-1-amd64-generic #2 Mon Mar 20 10:43:41 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux
So, I am not yet running on both cpu's ;<
This is what I see:
# COLUMNS=160 dpkg -l '*kernel*' | sed 's!^....!!;s! .*$!!' | grep 64

I am also seeing a series beginning like this:
nvidia-kernel*
WHICH kernel will make best use of my system?
WHY am I running 2.6.15 , when the newest I find available is 2.6.8-12 ?
Since this box uses nvidia chipsets, what are the nvidia-kernel*
packages about?
Please, point me to the FAQ lists, and all other resources, to promote
my further education.
Thank you, for your review of these matters ...

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much
