I've been running Feisty beta. Today, update manager had a lot of updates for me, evidently because of the release. Yet again, they updated my Linux kernel-386 without updating the linux-restricted-modules of the same version. This time, it wasn't even in the repos. I hate it when they do that and bork my x. I have to keep booting to the old kernel until they get the restricted modules out.

When will they get k7 and 686 versions of the kernel for Feisty?

I thought the K7 and 686 kernels were deprecated by linux-image-generic?

So if I'm running 32-bit Feisty on an AMD64 chip, would the generic kernel be better to use than the 386?

Dual core amd64(X2)? yes. Single core? Maybe not.
