I believe I specified a particular kernel for my architecture --
kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686 or something very similar. I've double
checked,
and no kernel-image-2.6-anything is installed. At least Synaptic shows
none installed. kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 is the only thing similar-looking
that's installed. Unstable is in a particularly unstable state at the
moment--as you likely know--since a new release was done not long ago.
I've been making the working assumption that the kernel oddness I'm
seeing
is related to this.

There's been a noticeable decrease in performance on this system with
this
2.6.12 kernel, so I'll likely be getting rid of it. I'm looking at dummy

ways of building a kernel: do you have any experience with
kernel-package?
It looks like it could make the process a bit less daunting to a
relative
neophyte like me.

Thanks, James
