Re: "Unable to boot please use a kernel appropriate for your i686 CPU"

here is what you're not seeing: 879Zf59.jpg HI Rockedge This error seems to be from the compilation of the main sfs???? , I already had the honor of suffering it when I try a xenial remaster with newer packages from woof-ce, although it has not happened to me with any puppy that has been released ...

@dkc4343 :-

Apologies for "derailing" your thread with all this CPU research! It happens on the Puppy Forums, more often than we'd care to admit, I'm sorry to say..... :oops:

Mike. ;)

No problem!

Hello @dkc4343 Lets begin with some facts. Pup Sysinfo can supply specs from your PC. Follow the path from Applications > System > Pup-sysinfo and then mainboard > CPU.

To identify 32 or 64 bit Puppy versions.

In the iso file name look for 32 or 64 or nothing.
Examples:
Bionicpup32_8.0.iso is 32bit.
Bionicpup64_8.0.iso is 64bit.
Xenialpup 7.5.iso is 32bit.

Useful info. I will keep that in mind. :thumbup:

What's you've done is to attempt to boot a 64-bit Puppy on a 32-bit machine. Naturally, it doesn't like it. You can boot 32-bit on a 64-bit machine, but NOT 64-bit on a 32 ...
