No, you *did not* have updates from testing/etch running on your system for a while. Even oldstable sarge has kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686, ie. a more recent one than you have/had on your system. Sarge gives: uname -a Linux srv 2.6.8-3-686 #1 Tue Dec 5 21:26:38 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux etch gives: Linux johannes2 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 26 17:17:36 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux Please take care that your apt/aptitude is configured correctly (/etc/apt/sources.list) HTH, Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
