Hello, I'm running wheezy and it's since weeks that I started wondering when a new kernel will come to testing :-) root@debian:~# cat /etc/issue Debian GNU/Linux wheezy/sid \n \l test@debian:~$ uname -r 2.6.32-5-686 Now (by purely chance) I realized that there is indeed a new kernel available in the repositories so that this means it was me making some kind of mistake. root@debian:~# apt-cache search linux-image
(snip list of packages)
linux-image-2.6-686 - Linux 2.6 for modern PCs (meta-package) linux-image-686 - Linux for modern PCs (meta-package) I use to upgrade the machine with this command: apt-get update&& apt-get -V dist-upgrade Should I have been using another one that automatically triggered the new kernel? Or is that kernel needs to be manually pulled? :-?
Do you have the linux-image-686 package installed? (I see you're using the 686 version) This package is a dummy package that depends on the latest kernel, currently linux-image-2.6.38-2-686. If you do, then apt-get dist-upgrade will install the new kernel when available (but it won't remove your old kernel).
