Package: kernel-image-586 Provides: kernel-image Priority: optional Version: 2.6.35.14-1 Source: linux Architecture: __ARCH__ Maintainer: Paul A. Whittaker Section: System/Kernel Destination: root Description: A generic 2.6.35 DIET-PC kernel for Pentium (i586) or better This kernel is uniprocessor and supports only 4 GB of memory, in case you are wondering what happened to your other CPU cores and additional RAM. Use the 686 kernel image for low end multiprocessor systems, and for anything more powerful, consider using the amd64 (x86_64 / 64-bit) DIET-PC port instead. . The kernel supports ISA, PCI, PCIe and AGP busses. There is UDMA support for common SATA and IDE chipsets, and generic PATA/SATA support (using the new ATA layer drivers) for everything else. SCSI support for USB storage devices and controllers emulated by common hypervisors. Compiled-in support for Ext2/3/4, ISO9660, JFFS2, SquashFS 4 and Unionfs filesystems. . Ought to support booting from hard disk, except for paravirtualized systems (use the vmguest kernel image for this). CD/DVD-ROM, NOR and NAND flash, and USB disks, on most x86-based systems. Doesn't support booting over NFS.
