Bug#694344: Device does not work with 'linux-image-686-pae', but it is the default
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

First there were intermittent bootproblems, then more often and finally the box would not
boot anymore at all. I tried all kinds of BIOS-settings changes, but could not resolve
the situation, began to feel desperate already.
Then I installed the XFCE-version of Linux-Mint-Debian-Edition and found, that this works
and that the default there is actually 'linux-image-486', which works. linux-image-686-pae
is not bootable, but hangs upon showing the grub-menu.
So the default for this machine has to be changed in Debian, too. Until this happens,
the only workaround I can think of right now is to install in expert mode and choose the
- -486-kernel during the process. Having a -686-kernel without PAE again would be nicer
here, too, else users have to build their own custom kernels especially for AMD-Geode to
get the full performance potential out of their boxes.
Thus changing the severity of this report to 'important'.
