Bug#454777: Please continue to provide k7 images
My 2 cents: 686 Kernel: 2.6.22-3-686 (2.6.22-6.lenny1) Boot: grub to login: 37 seconds Xfce(Started manually using "startxfce4"): 25 seconds Bench: ZLib: 4620.706 KiB/second (higher is better) Fibonacci: 10.956 seconds (lower is better) MD5: 22.168 MiB/second (higher is better) SHA1: 23.102 MiB/second (higher is better) Blowfish: 44.472 seconds (lower is better) FPU Raytracing : 67.443 seconds (lower is better) Bonus, a great error message from alsa. __ K7 Kernel: 2.6.22-3-k7 (2.6.22-6.lenny1) Boot: grub to login: 32 seconds Xfce(Started manually using "startxfce4"): 21 seconds Bench : ZLib : 5274.572 KiB/second Fibonacci : 10.151 seconds MD5 : 22.971 MiB/second SHA1 : 23.920 MiB/second Blowfish : 43.239 seconds Raytracing : 66.326 seconds I see a significant difference between 686 and K7. My two desktop computers are K7, but I can not yield results with the two because my main PC(K7) categorically refuses to boot on a 686 kernel! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Maybe I'm wrong but I've seen processes in a amd64-system using much more memory than on a k7 system. Or is that just a coincidence? So, is there no problem using 686-package instead of k7? Otherwise I'll switch right away. :-)

I would agree with the drop of k7. I was actually one of the people using the k7 flavour, but as now k7 is superseded by amd64 architecture anyway, there is no more need for k7. It would be like keeping the k6 architecture or p5. Thanks for the great kernel package, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

If k7 is going to be dropped, can the linux-image-2.6-k7 package depend on linux-image-2.6-i686 to make upgrading easier? Ken -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.23-1 Priority: wishlist Hi guys, I stumbled above the changelog of the new kernel image: " * [i386] Drop k7 images." It would be really great if you would continue to provide k7-images. Would this be possible?
