Hi Israel,

Here we go:

1. uname indicates what kernel is used:

March-19@torios ~ $ uname -a
Linux torios 3.2.0-101-generic #141-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 10 21:43:55 UTC 
2016 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

2. free indicates that not all RAM is used, which is a typical symptom 
of using a non-pae kernel (all 4 GB RAM cannot be used)

March-19@torios ~ $ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          2666        237       2429          0         19        131
-/+ buffers/cache:         87       2579
Swap:         4838          0       4838

3. Here is the log file:

March-19@torios ~ $ cat pae-kernel-install.log
2016-03-19
Kernel version in installed base is #141-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 10 21:43:55 
UTC 2016
Using Debian LTS
 mounted all the temporary things for this chroot successfully
not sure what You are using.... Must abort
remove /sbin/initctl
dpkg-divert --rename --remove /sbin/initctl
rm /etc/resolv.conf
unmounted all the temporary things for the chroot successfully
March-19@torios ~ $

*. Guessing only: Maybe there is confusion, because in the 3.2 kernel 
series the generic kernel is non-pae and the pae kernel is labeled 
generic-pae, but in the 3.16 series of Debian Jessie, the pae kernel is 
labeled generic.

Best regards
Nio
