Which kernel version do I need

[Drenhead]

I am using a Pentium IV with Hyperthreading, and was wondering what version of the kernel I should load? When looking thru the Adept package manager, I saw different Kernel versions and I was wondering if I should choose a different one?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Which kernel version do I need

Hi,

linux-image-i686 should install smp support for PIV
look at this :
linux-image-686 - Linux kernel image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV
linux-image-2.6.15-26-686 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP/UP

Cheers

Topic: Why is my version generic and not i386?

Jucato gives link to:
Optimized kernel builds: the straight dope
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ub...st/019983.html

Having read over it, I think the numbers are fairly compelling. The
difference in performance between -386 and -686 is insigificant; the
measurements are all within a reasonable error range, and within that range,
-686 was slower as often as it was faster.

My recommendation is that we phase out these additional kernel builds, which
I expect will save us a great deal of developer time, buildd time, archive
storage and bandwidth.

If you search linux-image-686. It tells:

Obsoleted by: linux-image-generic
This package is for upgrades only.

And
linux-image-generic

Generic Linux kernel image
This package will always depend on the latest generic kernel image
available.

Re: Which kernel version do I need


It does not work!
If power off and immediately power on is ok. But if I poff and, after an hour, pon it does not work!
The system reboot when try to initialize the second processor >

The only one kernel that it works is the -386. But it sees an only one processor (ht=on).
The system is DELL Inspiron 8300 PIV 3GHz with HT. I have not never had problems with kernel -686 and dapper/breezy.
Please, help me.
Thanks in advance.

Note n.1
It is much strange one: if boot from windows partition and reboot from linux partition the problem vanishes.
