Is kernel build 2.6.35-20-generic-pae( i686) correct?

Asked by Professor George F. Hart

Trying to get GUI back so tried:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

got: deleted module version 8.723.1 completely from DKMS tree
load new fglrx -8.723.1 DKMS files
building only for 2.6.35-20-generic-pae
building for architecture i686 ......................................IS THIS CORRECT?
building initial module for 2.6.35-20-generic-pae
ERROR bad return status for module build on kernal 2.6.35-20-generic-pae(i686)

Should it be i686?

Yes the pae kernel is 32bit. The 64bit kernel can access 16Tb of RAM. PAE gives the 32bit kernel the ability to access up to 12Gb RAM.
