We have fresh 6.6 kernels in /testing! You may notice that on the 32-bit side
we have done away with the -smp labeled kernel packages, but it's actually the
other kernels that were retired -- the non-SMP, non-PAE ones. If you were
previously using kernel-generic-smp or kernel-huge-smp, you'll need to make
some adjustments to your bootloader setup to load kernel-generic or kernel-huge
instead. About the only non-obsolete CPUs that may have an issue with this are
the first generation Pentium M chips, which supported PAE but unfortunately did
not advertise this in the CPU flags. But these will support PAE if the kernel
option "forcepae" is appended at boot time. Enjoy! :-)
