I have 2 laptops w/aptosid, and each are up-to-date
within the last day or two. Both run 32-bit, and were
installed from same Live-DVD.
Yet, their kernels are different versions. Why?

Well, as a first guess...
Perhaps you don't have the kernel meta package (linux-image-2.6-aptosid-686 and it's corresponding header package: linux-headers-2.6-aptosid-686) that automatically pulls in the newest available kernel installed on the laptop running the older kernel? |

Did not manually remove the kernel meta-packages we provide (or set some holds)?
Did you use a 3rd-party maintenace script on those systems?
Greetings,
Chris
@Devil: There are NO pending dist-upgrades on either system.
[Thought I stated that in base-post.]
@Slam: Not that I recall. What would be the NAME of such a meta-package?
No, no holds that I knowingly set. And, no, no
3rd-party tools...I do 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade' at run-level-3, to update my systems.
Am I correct in assuming that the system at 2.6.35 SHOULD have
upgraded to 2.6.36? (I just re-tried dist-upgrade on it,
to be sure that it's current.)
Is there a meta-package-name that I can try to install that would then cause the 2.6.35 system to upgrade its kernel? |

Yes, they're both installed:

Yes, on 2.6.35-kernel laptop, they're both installed, according to 'apt-cache policy':

Then on your currently 2.6.35 kernel PC, you either
1) have not rebooted yet after upgrading the kernel
or
2) you have rebooted with older 2.6.35 kernel. |

| Use kernel-remover to have only one kernel. |

This, is not a good advice.
It's better to keep at least one old kernel that's known to work well. |

Not sure exactly, but somehow the 'gpg' key for the sidux repo isn't getting recognised. Has
to do with some similar threads I found where some others were also having problem where
'keyring' package (with slh's new key for aptosid) didn't get installed or updated.
Anyway, now that I KNOW/SEE the problem, I'm not gonna bother to try to fix it. I'll be doing
a fresh install in a month or so, and the problem will get fixed from that.
Thanks for all the help/ideas! Marking this one solved. |

Thanks, I had gotten that far, but get an error from that, and
haven't figured out exactly why yet:
