Hello,

on my Laptop HP Pavilion ZE4700 with an Athlon XP-M 2500+ (K7, Barton
1,866 GHz)
From ?2004
Running with Debian 8.
The Laptop was not in use and I want to use for Kids playing.

Try to install Debian 11.2 i386 Netinstall CD

At point: "Install the base system"
Unable to install the selected kernel
An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the
target system
Kernel package: linux-image-686-pae"
At expert install, I try it with Kernel package: linux-image-5.10.0-
686-pae
with the same error.


I could not check /var/log/syslog or virtual console 4
I do not know how I could look at /var/log/syslog at the install and
swich console was not possible only the install-menu goes back.

Possibly try using the non-pae version of the kernel? Does it not install
at all, or does it fail at the last stage?

All the very best, as always,

Yes, with non-pae version of the kernel could install Debian 11.
Debian 11 is working at the laptop, but with 512MB Ram is it not fine
working experience.


Thank you for help

Can you provide more information by running these two commands
uname -a
free
in Debian 8 and copying and pasting that activity (command with
output) back to us?
