Dear all,
The following is the cat message from /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 4
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz
stepping : 3
cpu MHz : 2800.220
cache size : 16 KB
My present kernel is 2.4.27 on 386 system.
I've ever tried 2.6.8 smp kernel but the system fails to boot.
I wonder if the cpu is supported by etch and which kernel I should
choose to use if it is supported.

Thanks for any in advance.

Regards.

And what error messages had you got when the system failed to boot with 2.6.8
smp kernel?
They are important in order to determine the boot failed reason.

Thank you for your reply.
I'm sorry that the machine is really far from my reach.
And I asked someone who was not familiar with linux restart my server
and choose my original kernel for me.
I wonder if the 686 kernel of 2.6.18 is the right one for me.
Thanks again for your reply.

I think your CPU is perfectly suported by 2.6.8 smp kernel.

So, it is possible that the boot problem is caused by any other problem (i.e.
your 2.6.8 smp kernel has not built in support for your root filesystem).

For example, if your root filesystem is ext3 and your kernel has compiled ext3
support in a MODULE (or NO ext3 support) you will not be able to load the
ext3 kernel support (the ext3 MODULE) and, of course, you will NOT be able to
boot.

Many other reasons are possible.

But, without the exact error messages is difficult to troubleshoot.

Thank you for tracing my problem.
It's true that my root system is of ext3 format.
I only got the compiled image from the mirror site security.debian.org.
I don't know if ext3 is compiled is built into the kernel or compiled
as a module.
Do I have to check that before I reboot the system?
I'm sure that my cpu is hyper-thread enabled.
Shall I choose the 686 version of 2.6.18 kernel in the new source tree?

Regards

Not really. If you use stock kernels and it was installed correctly it
should just work.

Definitely.
