Title:
Ubuntu should detect RAM upgrade and offer PAE kernel on x86
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Forgive me if Jockey isn't the right place for this, it seemed like a
good idea at the time.
As I understand it when a new 32-bit installation of Ubuntu happens on
an x86-class device with more than ~3GB RAM, Ubiquity automatically
installs the -pae kernel to ensure as much of the physical RAM is
available for use. If 32-bit Ubuntu is installed on a x86-class
device with less than ~3GB RAM, Ubiquity will install the -generic
32-bit kernel.
In the use case where the user buys a computer with 2GB RAM (a common
configuration) they get the -generic kernel (which is appropriate).
However later they may upgrade their machine to 4GB (another common
configuration) but not be able to see the additional RAM.
I believe that Jockey (or some other infrastructure, but Jockey seems
best placed) should detect the fact that the user is running 32-bit on
x86 with more than 3GB RAM and offer to install the -pae kernel to
take advantage of it.
