It works ok for other Intel CPUs including single cores. It's just that we at 64studio try to optimize the hell out of it, and this one is optimized (but not limited) for said architectures. I've also built a /generic/ i386 kernel (same .config but for different CPU optimizations) . But I'm having some minor packaging problems in order to release it: ie. sharing the source package, package naming, including man 9 docs in the kernel-man package. All Stuff that sounds trivial, but as I found out the last week that it is actually not.. stay tuned. An amd64 kernel image is also in the queue. >> sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.31-rt11-686-multimedia >> kernel-headers and -sources are available from there as well. >> > Where do you need the sources for? As Daniel said: GPL compliance.

If not You can simply reboot into the old kernel call `dpkg -P linux-image-2.6.31-rt11-686-multimedia` and tell us about it.
