Virtual machines (including those from Redmond) probably needs testing. Let me know when you have something I can test on Hyper-V, VirtualPC and ESX. (There are probably lots of candidates to test qemu, kvm, VirtualBox 1&2, vmware...) Franklin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Maybe rename them somehow later. I checked it again, this is incorrect. A generic optimized kernel with a 686 setting will not work on older cpus.
