Description

Foreman 1.4.0 on Ubuntu 12.04.

I am using Xen 4.1 and attempted install of a Fedora 20 i386 vm. This fails because Xen only supports the PAE kernels for 32bit installs.

When defining the Installation media, Foreman should either default to selecting PAE kernels from the tree or give user the option to select PAE kernels.

The workaround: manually replace vmlinuz and initrd in /var/lib/tftpboot/boot with PAE versions.
