I guess it's a bit difficult, since the package management cannot know that the kernel will not work with your CPU. The alternative of downgrading to the -486 kernel for all former -686 users is not very attractive either, since that means losing SMP support. This will certainly be mentioned in the Wheezy release notes eventually. > Why proceed with installing something that will not work and even set it > as the default boot option >:-P The installation has actually failed, leaving the -686-pae kernel unconfigured, has it not? I think there is a problem with the upgrade-grub script that generates menu entries for all kernels, whether they work or not.
