Oops. I should have written .PAE.img
Kernels don't end in .img, that's the initrd / initramfs. Here is a
sample kernel name:
vmlinuz-2.6.42.12-1.20120323.fc15.x86_64
Here is the rpm initramfs file name for that kernel:
initramfs-2.6.42.12-1.20120323.fc15.x86_64.img
Oops. Right the first time.
The kernels end in .PAE . The ramdisk images end in .PAE.img .
I think pentium 4 is fairly old hardware. I doubt either the kernel
developers or Fedora developers are using such hardware, and so you
could be hitting a regression that wasn't caught during
kernel development because no one is running that hardware.
Any idea how I would find out for sure?
No. I am suggesting you create a custom initramfs for the DVD kernel
for your system. Use it instead of the generic DVD initramfs. I am
suggesting this because it might allow the boot process to bypass the
problem it is having running the DVD kernel. It should still find the
That also means that I would have to generate the image somehow.
I've no idea how I would do that.
