I have installed "linux-k7" in my Hoary test partition, and things
seems to work fine after a reboot using the new kernel.  But when I do
a "uname -a", I still see a "i686".  Is that an expected behaviour or
something to be concerned?

$ uname -a
Linux home 2.6.10-2-k7 #1 Wed Jan 19 17:18:18 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
