    Non PAE custom build install boot menu option don't work

    I created a custom ISO for non PAE computer following all the steps correctly as in the Kali Documentation.
    And all worked fine.
    I try install it as guest in a Virtualbox Machine.
    The Live distribution boot fine and work well if in the starting menu I choose Live run.
    But if I choose Install option to perform the installation in the Virtual Machine, I receive the usual message:
    "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae
    Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU"
    There is somebody experienced the same problem?
    Can somebody help me to find a solution?
    Thanks anyway.

    You can install from the 486 forensic mode but grub will not install with it.
    I also did not yet get it working.

    Is there anywhere in the net a download-source vor a Kali-i386-nonPAE.iso ?

    Or could anyone upload a running nonPAE.iso ? PLEASE !

    I tried creating a non-pae version, however I don't think it is working properly. Firstable the iso size is only a few hundred MB instead of GB like the regular Kali's build. Secondly, when I do a live boot, it stops at a kali prompt, but neither the "startx" or "ls" command works. "shutdown -h now" does work. So i think I must be doing something wrong.

    I want a full kali build with evertything does currently on kali, plus any additional software I installed, and non-pae. How do I go about it?. I have been reading the debian iso creation documentation and it gives me the impression that I need to copy some files from the regular kali's usr/ folder and so on. If that is the case could you please describe in detail what you did to get yours to work?. by the way, i am building it from inside a virtual machine instead of a physical machine, so i don't know if that makes any differences or not.
