I see in my synaptic that there is also a 386 kernel

any better/worse? I'm running a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core
Processor 4800+ . I think that when I installed ubuntu/karmic it
picked the "generic" for me. Also see that there is a RT kernel in the
repository. Anyone have comments on that choice?
The problem for me happened with both the -generic and -rt kernels, on
several different versions of Ubuntu, so I think it must have been
related to Ubuntu's kernel patches... beyond that I can't really
comment (especially since this could be a totally unrelated issue).
In the meantime, I'll reboot with 15-generic and see if that works for
a day or so...
Also, can I download and run the 64 Studio or Arch kernels onto my
existing karmic installation?
I know you can use the 64 Studio kernel on Ubuntu Hardy (8.10), but I
have not tried any other combinations (I've only tried the Arch kernel
under Arch itself). Maybe someone with a bit more kernel tinkering
background has some ideas? Might be a good chance to try rolling your
own kernel... I've been meaning to try it sometime too. From what
I've read it's not too tough... (famous last words)
Thanks.
