Is the 'Trunk' kernel needed for Debian? I installed Squeeze and it
defaulted to the 'Trunk' kernel. I was told the Trunk kernel is no
longer supported or available. Is this true? I am confused because it
still installed and Virtualbox doesn't like it. I have to switch to
the default "2.6.32-3-amd64" kernel.

Anyone know?

The trunk kernel gets listed as the preferred kernel as it isn't listed
as an exception from the normal alpha numeric rules used to set up
the bootloader's prefs.

It can be removed.

I read an explanation on this list a few weeks ago. The author, who
seemed to be knowledgable, said that kernels with 'trunk' in their
name are intended for internal use of the debian kernel team only and
were never intended for release into the wild. But it happened. If
your interested in how it happened and/or who to blame, search the
archives. I suspect you will be utterly bored by the details that you
find.

I have found that using the business-card install, instead of netinst,
eliminates the problem. An recent netinst CD image may also fix it.

YMMV

Yes. I did a 'netinst' and I downloaded the ISO from Debian's site
this morning so it was a up to date however it appears it still pulls
the Trunk kernel. Can you guys who are more experienced with Debian
explain what the recommended / correct method is for viewing all
'kernels' on the system and then removing the trunk kernel from my
system.

I appreciate any info and support!
