That's what we're doing on Linux and that seems the best compromise. On Linux there are many different kernel flavors where it is being worked on to reduce their amount. I propose -486 for older PCs and 686-pae for newer PCs. See [1] on more discussion about the minimal required processor. I am not sure if FreeBSD has drawbacks to use a SMP flavored kernel on a traditional legacy system with one CPU only. If yes there perhaps should be a -smp version for each too. Generally it seems an upstream bug to me though if the kernel crashes on such a system. Regarding D-I I guess there is no easy way to tell in advance whether the system needs a PAE kernel or not, and the fact the wrong choice crashes does not make it any more easy to choose a kernel. > - Fail gracefuly and prompt user to either remove RAM or use AMD64 > version Is it really safe to assume every system with more than 4G RAM supports the long mode for sure?
