Dear Ben, >>>> PAE is broken for any amount of RAM. >>> No it isn't. >> Could I please ask you to expand on that? > > I already did, a few messages back. OK, thanks. Noting however that fewer than those back, I said: ... PAE with any RAM fails the "sleep test": n=0; while [ $n -lt 33000 ]; do sleep 600 & ((n=n+1)); done and somewhere also said that non-PAE passes. Does not that prove that PAE is broken?
