You *is* up to date.

I wrote that You in fact was up to date because it showed the 
kernel-update if you "click on 'include installed patches' (dt: 
installierte Patches einschließen)".

So You knows about the Kernel Update but doesn't show it until you click 
on "'include installed patches". If you now scroll down you find an entry 
similar to "kernel optimized for Athlon CPUs". If you then click on it, 
you see that there is a newer Version ( -100) available.

Maybe it is not improved enough? You did always work for me (even the 
first update-kernel got installed). Only that particular patch made 
problems.

What I think is: You knows that I have got installed the first 
Kernel-update and because of that doesn't show the package k_athlon 
anymore. Some days ago a new k_athlon package has been released 
(2.4.20-100). But You doesn't show it because it thinks, k_athlon has 
been installed... So you have to find it manually and select update.
