I finally managed to install a non-pae kernel (linux-image-4.5.0-2-686) 
on the virtual machine with PAE enabled and no hardware virtualization 
extensions available and it loads just fine. I can't guess what's going 
on here given that PAE and VT-x (or AMD's counterpart) are neither hard 
linked nor binded so, what's preventing a PAE enabled kernel from booting on a 
virtual machine with PAE flag on but no virtualization extensions 
configured? I'm definitely puzzled.

Gretings,
