Bug#384135: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686: description doesn't mention new support for SMP
Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686
Version: 2.6.17-6
Severity: minor
It seems unfortunate that the package description doesn't mention that you no
longer need a -smp kernel to support hyperthreading. I'd deferred upgrading
for some time because I was waiting for a package I no longer need. The 686
smp packages used to say explicitly that they had smp support.
