Installer shoud choose optimized kernel, said the docs...
I read soemwhere in the sarge installer FAQ, sarge manual or something
like that available in sarge homepage that the installer NOT choosing
the optimized kernel for a machine was a bug and that it was already
fixes since March or something...
Oh, here it is:
http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianInstallerFAQ
[...]
Question 17: Why doesn't the installer automatically choose the
appropriate kernel to install (for example an i686 kernel instead of the
generic i386)?
Answer: This is bug 237529 and it should be fixed by now. If you still
see this problem in a recent installer, please reopen that bug and
include the content of /proc/cpuinfo and which kernel version should be
installed for your processor.

Well, I'm installing sarge with the net installer on my i686 laptop -
(running over vmware, but that does not change the /proc/cpuinfo AFAIK -
it reports a "Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 1.80Ghz") and I'm
getting a i386 kernel installed....
I have no ideia how to reopen the bug.. can someone give a hand on how I
do this or take care of reopening this bug?
Thanks
Joao Clemente
Ps: I am using the last available net-installer (pre-rc2?) so it got
broken again from march till now or never did got straight...
