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:
<snip />
kernel-image-2.6-amd64-generic
kernel-image-2.6-amd64-k8
kernel-image-2.6-amd64-k8-smp
kernel-image-2.6-em64t-p4
kernel-image-2.6-em64t-p4-smp
kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-generi
kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8
kernel-image-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp
kernel-image-2.6.8-11-em64t-p4
kernel-image-2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp
kernel-image-2.6.8-12-amd64-generi
kernel-image-2.6.8-12-amd64-k8
kernel-image-2.6.8-12-amd64-k8-smp
kernel-image-2.6.8-12-em64t-p4
kernel-image-2.6.8-12-em64t-p4-smp
<snip />
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.

OK, I'll bite. WHICH kernel do you recommend? WHY?
I recommend application of common sense. I've already stated why you
might already have a 2.6.15 system (requirement for a newer kernel for
hardware reasons), that backports.org has 2.6.15 kernels on it, and that
the kernel ending in -amd64-k8-smp is appropriate for you. Fill in the
blanks.
