This appears to be a matter of missing code to determine the amount of available memory. I simply took the code to do this from base- installer/library.sh and added it to ubiquity's check-kernels script (see attached patch). I've uploaded a version of ubiquity with this fix to my ppa:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/evand/ppa/ubuntu karmic main Please do the following to test this: 1) Boot the "Try or Install Ubuntu" option off the i386 DVD. 2) Add the above line to your sources.list. 3) Run `sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubiquity-frontend-gtk=2.0.3~evand` 4) Launch ubiquity as usual, you should get a pae kernel on reboot. ** Attachment added: "pae-fix.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34159341/pae-fix.patch -- Installer needs way to install PAE kernel on i386 9.10 DVD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/413135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
