Michiel

for kernel upgrade try

blake@raider:~$ apt-cache search kernel-image-2.6.10 | grep 686
kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.10 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4.
kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686-smp - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.10 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4 SMP.

If you have a multi processor machine, or one that supports hyperthreading (?) install the latter
    apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686-smp

other wise install the first one
    apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686

Cheers
