is there a linux-image-2.6.17-x-amd64-k8?

Hi. I would like to install a kernel image that is compiled for AMD64 processors only (not for both AMD64 and EM64T). I need kernel in version 2.6.17 but I cannot find 2.6.17-x-amd64-k8 in the repos. There is one in version 2.6.16: linux-image-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8, but in 2.6.17 there is only:

No major difference to all purposes? In particular, using the system for computation (mpqc2.3.1) without X, aimed at the highest possible floating point. I am just reinstalling amd64 on dual opteron (hope the old net installer - 19 July - works; the newest does not, as I have reported.

Specifically, I should add, we have detected a bug in mpqc2.31, unable - with large complex molecules - to build correctly the hessian in internal coordinates, reading cartesian coordinates. We turned to cartesian coordinates throughout, which is less efficicient. Now I wonder whether instead
