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

The Linux kernel 4.9 and modules for use on PCs with one or more
processors supporting 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

Hi again Israel,

Sorry for the confusion.

1. When I reported, that it worked to install using the graphical installer, it was an updated and upgraded system from the previous iso file with md5sum:

efa3eba6bf82fdadfa340fcfb19e1e2b  ToriOS-2018-03-13-beta-stretch-i386.iso

2. while the current iso file fails also with the graphical installer (tested at the advanced OBI level in both cases).

95e885db3b976cb1578d32d940674233  ToriOS-2018-03-15-beta-stretch-i386.iso

I tried both without and with update & upgrade to the current obi-installer - 3.4.0ubuntu0-345~ubuntu18.04.1.

I get complaints about failing chroot and am kicked back to an earlier menu of the installer after the second complaint about chroot (when trying to install the bootloader).

Maybe something happened to the packages in the meantime?

See the attached log files

I tried also at the basic OBI level (with the newest iso file and updated obi-installer). There were errors in the information in the zenity windows: for example, nothing displayed in the final warning window, which can be scary.

I continued anyway, because it was a test drive anyway. But I was kicked back to an earlier window of the installer.

Best regards
Nio
