Bug Description

I've confirmed now (having set PAE on) in VB, that the kernel running once OBI install is performed, is a PAE only kernel namely, 3.2.0-76-generic-pae.

And likewise on the previous ToriOS .iso beta file.

Thus they will not boot on a system that is not supplying the PAE flag, which is what I accidentally discovered earlier.

I sent many emails on this recently.

JackT.

Thank you so much, JackT for reporting this issue.

I don't think we have checked that earlier and it is great that you reported it. I have marked this as Critical since our main and major aim is to create a NON-PAE system for very old machines.

Thank you!

summary: - Beta install tarballs are PAE only

Testing the latest build on VB at the moment. From the Live Session (before installation)

uname -r shows: 3.2.0-77-generic

I will try to check what happens 'after' installing the system.
