Both are 32 bit kernels. What am I missing? Can somebody take a good
look at this. I don't have much time to debug, but making the default
debian 3.x .. 686 32bit kernel to work is very important for me.

Kind regards,

Seems there is no pae instruction there!!! (overlooked that)

When will there be a non pea 3.x kernel like with the 2.6 kernel
available in Debian?

Kind regards,

>From the kernel changelog:

* [i386] Rename '686-bigmem' flavour to '686-pae'; remove '686' flavour.
For 686-class systems without PAE, the '486' flavour is more efficient
than the '686' flavour due to optimisation for uniprocessor systems.

So you should use the -486 flavour on non-PAE hardware. Larger numbers
aren't necessarily better :-)

Perhaps the linux-image-686 transitional package should depend on
linux-image-486 (the conservative/safe/lowest-common-denominator choice).
On the other hand, linux-image-686-pae (the former "bigmem" version) is
more appropriate for most mainstream CPUs (although not for unusual CPUs like
your Geode), which is presumably the reason why automatic migration
from -686 is to that one.

The kernel team's advice on the appropriate new kernel for various CPUs
should probably go in the wheezy release notes, particularly if cases
like this exist.
