Unable to run command [CODE] apport-collect 1755951 [/CODE] because
system will not boot without a viable 'forcepae' boot option. Since
ubuntu-mate is supporting 32-bit kernels, I hope that it will work for
Banias Pentium-D CPU's with the forcepae boot option, since the CPU is
quite capable of running PAE but does not advertise that fact due to a
bug. It is ironic that PAE is required for 32-bit CPU's at all, since
most of the surviving 32-bit CPU's are on a motherboard that cannot
accept more than about 3Gb RAM anyway. For example, mine is maxed out at
2Gb RAM, making PAE moot for me (and I suspect almost everyone else
too.) An alternative option, of course, would be to provide a nonPAE
kernel.

Title:
  forcepae option doesn't work for ubuntu-mate 18.04 beta

Status in ubuntu-mate:
  Invalid
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Downloaded ubuntu-mate 18.04 beta for 32-bit; confirmed sha256sum.
  Attempted VBox install using live-iso. iso boots and runs when PAE box
  is checked for VBox kernel, iso fails to boot when PAE box is not
  checked. using boot paramater 'forcepae -- forcepae' i am still
  getting the 'pae missing' error message. i noticed that the boot
  parameters now end with '---' instead of '--' as was the case with
  16.04 after 'quiet splash'. If this isn't a bug, what changed with the
  boot parameters?
