That should be RAM at addressed above 4GB address physical. Commonly machines with more than 3GB of ram and the majority of those with more than 3.5GB of ram have memory placed above this boundary and require PAE to use it all. The e820 tells you, but perhaps using 3 or 3.5 as the boundary is close enough. > ) PAE and <= 4GB RAM - install linux-image-legacy > ) !PAE - install linux-image-legacy -apw -- Ubuntu-installer mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-installer
