I've been running an AMD64-3000+ with a generic kernel for the last six
months:

sam@zizyphus:~$ uname -a
Linux zizyphus 2.6.16-2-amd64-generic #1 Sun Jul 16 01:12:23 CEST 2006
x86_64 GNU/Linux

Today I was just wondering if the amd64-k8 kernel wouldn't be more suited
for this processor.

K8 is the correct kernel for AMD cpus

Dean

Is the changeover as simple as installing the following:

linux-image-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8
linux-headers-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8

and then updating grub?
