There used to be packages for different amd64 flavours: amd64-generic,
amd64-k8, amd64-k8-smp, em64t-p4, em64t-p4-smp.
Now there is simply amd64, which combines all of them, including smp.
(I don't know what purpose amd64-generic survived, since both flavours
(amd64-k8, em64t-p4) were covered by exact matches. But it's gone now.)
So you simply want 2.6.18-3-amd64.
