Sorry if I was unclear. The answer is not what architectures work,
but what architectures Debian provides pre-built kernels for.
I test virgin kernel+VServer on armv5tel Joel tests on hppa/32/64 -
but neither of us test the _Debian_ pre-builts.
None of those machines are speed demons - so when someone said that
pre-built kernels where available - I did spend time searching the
package depositories for them. Then offered my update of the word: _all_.
For those who roll-their-own:
Your best bet on arm is 2.6.18.3 or newer to avoid swap problems ...
Probably 2.6.16.???-pa<latest> on hppa (after the spinlock fixes)
to avoid scsi iommu problems ...
(Neither set of problems are VServer related.)
