So, after burning the right iso, I tried to boot it on my laptop. I get the error message:
_________________________________________________________ This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae Unable to boot -- please us a kernel appropriate for your CPU. _________________________________________________________ Sigh. My desktop machine has the feature, but my laptop does not. On my desktop machine, I ran: rsteff@moonguide:~$ grep pae /proc/cpuinfo flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx constant_tsc pebs bts pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx constant_tsc pebs bts pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr rsteff@moonguide:~$ I tried running the same thing on the laptop and got nothing back. The desktop CPU is an Intel Pentium 4. The laptop is an Intel Pentium M. My first bit of Googling showed that there is a way to get 12.04 that doesn't need pae, but that defeats the purpose of having both machines running close to the same software. Any thoughts -- other that it's time to replace the laptop? :-( -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
