Re: Optimum kernel for Xeon with em64t
Thanks for the reply Jo... another question if i could please: On 6/12/06, Jo Shields <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: No, you're not running the right kernel - 2.6.8-9 is very old, and has security flaws in it. If you stick with sarge, update your kernel to kernel-image-2.6.8-12-em64t-p4-smp - or more generally, install the kernel-image-2.6-em64t-p4-smp metapackage Cool, so the meta package always depends on the latest kernel image, nice. Should there be any worry in installing this updated kernel on my server? The only complied software is amavis-new... other than that its all apt-get'ed.

Currently i am running kernel 2.6.8-9-em64t-p4-smp and a "cat /proc/cpuinfo" shows 4 processors (the 2 hyperthreaded processors). My question is: What is the optimum kernel to be running for my setup? Am i running the correct one? This is a mail server that has debian sarge installed and runs dbmail/amavis/postfix and supplies incoming and outgoing mail for our clients - is there even a reason here to run a EM64T kernel in this case?
