No 2.6 kernels for 586 in Sarge and up

[Jérôme Warnier]

I wonder why there is no 2.6 kernel package for 586 in Sarge while there
is for 2.4?
I can find 386-486-686 and k7, but no 586.

Regards

Try linux-{source,image,headers}.

(on sarge, long lines trimmed)
$ apt-cache search 586 |grep image
kernel-image-2.4-586tsc - Linux kernel image for version 2.4 on Pentium-Clas
kernel-image-2.4.27-2-586tsc - Linux kernel image for version 2.4.27 on Pent

As Jérôme said, no 2.6 kernel compiled for 586 in sarge.

AFAIK, this was done to reduce the (way too high) number of kernels. The
performance improvement of a 586 image over a 486 one being marginal,
they aren't built anymore.
