Same progression. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1939120 Nov 16 22:10 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-davidb- svn14611 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1956720 Oct 28 19:26 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-rt-davidb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1992432 Dec 8 22:27 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-davidb These ALL boot. The 2.6.32 above is 2.6.32.1 Reinstalling the 2.6.32.3 deb gives me: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1992752 Dec 28 19:38 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-davidb A relatively small increase but increase never-the-less.
