I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14, which has 1 Intel Core i3 (330) or
maybe 4. I installed Lenny amd64 having a few different problems, but
i would like to install Squeeze on it.
My question is, what should be the most suitable linux kernel for this
laptop? Please tell me what specific information is needed., if it
were the case.

"amd64" should be fine.
What problems were you facing?

Speaking generally, the most recent kernel should be best for recent
machines (more hardware support); in this case, the stock squeeze
kernel should do. Just try it out and see.
For not quite so new machines, your mileage may vary.

The Squeeze kernel, 2.6.32, is suitable for Core i3/i5/i7 CPUs. In
general, Squeeze should work for most hardware; however, kernel 32 is
actually fairly long in the tooth, and my opinion is that they should
have picked a more recent kernel for the Squeeze release. I plan to
install 2.6.36 or 37 from Sid after Squeeze is released, which I think
will be feasible. (Of course 5-6 months, possibly sooner, after the
release of Squeeze, I plan to move to Wheezy.)
In other words, as Klitvud says, support for new hardware is
successively added to each newer kernel, so the more recent your kernel
version, the better support there will be for your PC, not only CPU, but
all the various devices.

..IME, hardware needs to be very old to lose e.g. X support,
I have a few ATI mach64 cards that I hear now needs "mach64"
in xorg.conf rather than the good old "ati" wrapper.

..if you wanna try 2.6.36 and the most recent intel video etc
drivers, install Sid/"Unstable", then add "Experimental", I run
"aptitude -t experimental " after each normal update & upgrade.

..in "production" in my 3 radeon boxes, a 2-tread 3.2G P4 with
an X850XTPE, an AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3000+ with an 9800Pro, both
on i686 and at 2048x1536x32bit@59.4 and 58.8fps, and a "core2"
T7200 laptop with "Mobility FireGL V5200" on amd64 and at the
native 1920x1200x32bit@60fps.

Why don't you just pin experimental to something higher than 100?

Ok, thanks to all
I will try Squeeze, 2.6.32-5-amd64, and see what features are lost.
