Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Althoug
cat /proc/cpuinfo

shows I am using a Pentium III Ubuntu 6.06 flight 6 is installing a 386
Kernel, unlike other distributions i.e. Debian.

Also the 686 Kernel for Dapper is offered ONLY with SMP support enabled,
which causes a lot of drivers to crash the system.
