Re: kernel mess

Re-reading the last few posts I realised I may be confused as to what
you are actually running, sorry :). Are you trying to install on a 32
bit O/S running a -k8 kernel, or a full amd64 install?
I think the important thing to remember is to make sure you match the
packages with the O/S. This should all be taken care of by apt-get anyway.
Does 2.6.8-2-k7 use my cpu's x86_64 instruction set for anything at all?
No, AFAICT its treated as a normal Athlon.
Sempron64 equals AMD64? What optimization shall I stick to?
The -k8 kernels should work on 32 bit debian, as I said earlier I
compile my own kernel with 64 bit optimisations on 32 bit sid, but I
doubt this would make any difference.
You do have the kernel headers for the -k8 kernels installed I trust.
Although m-a prepare should take care of this.
TBH I am at a loss as to where to go next, sorry :)
