It's a Elo Touch ESY15E1. Basically it's a computer with touchscreen,
nothing strange and I have to install in that computer, no other.

Sincerely, I don't know, sorry :\

I think you've got the point, because I had a problem creating nfsroot
(fai-make-nfsroot -l) with linux-image-686-pae, then I switch this package
on /etc/fai/NFSROOT to linux-image-486 and everything were created with no
problem, but booting, exact same error!

I'm working with a Intel Atom 1.6GHz N270, seems to me that is not a PAE
CPU, so I think that I really have to change to linux-image-486, but my
problem still exists, when I boot from USB stick the error remains.. Any
idea? The system where I am creating the fai bootable USB may have
something to do with this? (it's a single core).

Thank you for all your responses!
