Hi again,

I found the following information about the i686 kernel at

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/linux-image-4.9.0-6-686

The Linux kernel 4.9 and modules for use on PCs with one or more
processors not supporting PAE.

What about this link?

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/linux-image-4.9.0-6-686-pae

Hey Nio,

As it turns out, the code used in Jessie does precisely this :D

And, as it were, I already had this code working for stretch.  I
disabled it, however, because I thought that the 686 kernel defaulted to
PAE.

So, I made a bug unintentionally, because I misunderstood Stretch.  This
is great news!  This means Stretch will support the computers we want YAY!!!

So, I am currently rebuilding OBI for Stretch and sometime soon you can:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install obi-installer

And try it out.  I think I fixed all the issues you mentioned in a
decent way.  Mostly I just offer to start the Graphical environment for
the user and restart the install process, or they can exit.

Since it is for advanced users they should be able to figure the rest out.

If you get a chance to check it out it will be this version:

obi-installer - 3.4.0ubuntu0-345~ubuntu18.04.1

Thanks for catching this issue!!


Hi Israel,

1. Graphical Installer

I could install with the PAE kernel using the graphical installer :-) (I tested at the advanced OBI level). And the installed system can use all the RAM :-)

2. Text installer

But I could not install at all using the text installer (in text mode). Some bug was introduced, because it worked in the previous version :-(

There was a complaint that the chroot could not be started, and later on there were some errors, I guess because of that.

The installer could continue (but maybe the result would be bad, but at the time zone I could not get the Swedish time zone accepted. The .profile file 'could not be found'.

Best regards
Nio
