I am upgrading from Debian Lenny. I've gone through the upgrade procedure and everything seemed to go okay. I'm ready to install a kernel image, but I'm not noticing an image for the k7 (amd) architecture, but only for 486. Is there an amd image?

Not so far

We have an amd64 kernel, but we have not yet built specific kernel packages for the various types of 32-bit CPUs out there. Despite the archaic name, the 486 kernel should run fine on your K7 hardware. You may get a slight performance boost from recompiling for k7, but please try the default package first.

thank you

Working good so far. Thank you very much. I'll look into compiling from source later.
