$ apt-cache show linux-image-2.6.39-1-686-pae|grep Celeron
 supported by the Intel Pentium Pro/II/III/4/4M/D, Xeon, Celeron, Core and

That's me. Celeron.

Odd how whatever script it was told me I had to use -486.

I looked in the preinst and postinst parts of
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.39-1-686-pae_2.6.39-1_i386.deb
to try to find what probed my Celeron and said it couldn't use 686-pae
and had to use -486, but it      is     one        big    black
mystery so sorry.
