Now that my new hp xw9300, dual opteron system is up and running, I give
thanks to all of you who have steered me in the right direction.
Thank you.
Now, I have this kernel booting:
# uname -a
Linux odin 2.6.15-1-amd64-generic #2 Mon Mar 20 10:43:41 UTC 2006 x86_64
GNU/Linux
So, I am not yet running on both cpu's ;<
This is what I see:
# COLUMNS=160 dpkg -l '*kernel*' | sed 's!^....!!;s! .*$!!' | grep 64

I am also seeing a series beginning like this:
nvidia-kernel*
WHICH kernel will make best use of my system?
Of those listed, kernel-image-2.6.8-12-amd64-k8-smp. But you probably
don't want any of those listed.
WHY am I running 2.6.15 , when the newest I find available is 2.6.8-12 ?
Your kernel is not an official Sarge kernel - it is a backported kernel
for installation purposes. Try backports.org, for 2.6.15 kernels for Sarge.
Since this box uses nvidia chipsets, what are the nvidia-kernel*
packages about?
Pre-compiled nvidia.ko modules, for use with the nvidia-glx 3D driver
