Hi Israel, I think we are misunderstanding each other. I read your previous description such that ToriOS fails to install the PAE kernel. Now I think you write that only the progress indicator fails, which is a much smaller issue. Trying again, I get the oscillating indicator 'Installing PAE kernel'. Maybe a kernel was installed, but in that case it is the same non-pae kernel. After installation I have only a non-pae kernel in the installed system :-( The other installed systems are not found. (They are found when running sudo update-grub in the installed system. This problem occurs sometimes, but not always, maybe when I have tried to install a PAE kernel as part of the installer script.) And as I wrote earlier, sudo apt-get install linux-image-686-pae will install the PAE kernel into the installed system (after booting into it). -o- There is a real problem with the non-pae kernel: It does not manage the RAM correctly when there is more than 2 GB (RAM). Many ageing computers have 3 or 4 GB RAM nowadays and we can expect that several people will test ToriOS in such computers. -o- Let us hope you get a good response at the Numix forum.
