Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 1160346] Re: do-release-upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 on Pentium-M fails, breaks system without any warning (This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU)
Folks, At the risk of sounding in inappropriately (again), I wanted to reiterate that the bug report I filed was when I tried to update my Pentium M ThinkPad from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.04.3 / 12.04.4. http://askubuntu.com/questions/336527/how-to-upgrade- ubuntu-12-04-2-12-04-3-to-12-04-4-the-next-hardware- enablement/417581#417581 http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/02/ubuntu-12-04-4-released-new-kernel http://www.ubuntuask.com/q/answers-why-12-04-2-to-12-04-3-didnt-upgrade- kernel-3-5-3-8-and-or-xorg-368181.html That was where I created unmet dependencies and hosed my upgrade manager until I undid via the Synaptic Package Manager. Neither in the read me nor on any of the above pages did I understand that I should not do such an upgrade on a notebook with non-PAE processor. Also, as I was trying to perform the update, I did not get an error message until the upgrade was partially complete. Will the work done help people like me, those with a non-PAE processor who try to upgrade to a more current version of the 12.04 LTS? Again, I want to repeat how much respect and appreciation I have for the work you folks do. -F.

Stephen, The work done in this bug should stop 12.04 systems getting hosed when updating to 14.04. The work done in bug #930447 enables Pentium M systems to boot a PAE kernel with the forcepae parameter (this has to be manually enabled by the user). Hopefully this means the 14.04 release image will boot on Pentium M systems. In your case (I assume you have Pentium M) you can install fakepae and then install the enablement stack and stay on 12.04 or (once 14.04 is released) follow the instructions in the wiki to upgrade to 14.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1160346 Title: do-release-upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 on Pentium-M fails, breaks system without any warning (This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU) Status in Ubuntu Release Upgrader: New Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Attempting to upgrade from Precise with a non-PAE kernel will result in a failed upgrade. do-release-upgrade should check whether the user is using a non-PAE kernel and refuse to run, rather than upgrading to a broken system with no installed kernel.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1160346] Re: do-release-upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 on Pentium-M fails, breaks system without any warning (This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU)
What about the boot option 'forcepae'? Is it still available, and possible to use in order to make Pentium M and Celeron M run a PAE kernel? In that case, I think that it should be described in the wiki page that the error text is referring to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE instead of (or at least alongside with) the reference to ugrading from 12.04 which is cumbersome and prone to failure. And is the tip about 'forcepae' still there in the error output? It is quite brief but will help people with some experience understand how to make the computer work. Others may need a more verbose help text (that I think should be in the wiki page). -o- I saw that you, Brian Murray, edited the wiki page March 3, so I don't want 'hijack' the page, instead I discuss here, what it could and should contain. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1160346 Title: do-release-upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 on Pentium-M fails, breaks system without any warning (This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU) Status in Ubuntu Release Upgrader: New Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Attempting to upgrade from Precise with a non-PAE kernel will result in a failed upgrade. do-release-upgrade should check whether the user is using a non-PAE kernel and refuse to run, rather than upgrading to a broken system with no installed kernel.

sudodus, forcepae isn't in the mainline kernel yet so it's up to the Ubuntu Kernel team as to whether they add the patch to the kernel now and/or backport it to 12.04. For someone with Pentium M who wants to upgrade from 12.04 the easiest way would be to do the fakepae trick of mounting a modified version of /proc/cpuinfo that contains the pae flag over the original, and then do the upgrade.

Chris, thanks for working on this. The code in the patch itself looks good but I think the error message for the user could be more informative regarding the corrective action necessary.

Re #10 and #11, it gave me a chuckle! :) But actually there's something serious here as well.

Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 1160346] Re: do-release-upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 on Pentium-M fails, breaks system without any warning (This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU)
Folks, It probably isn't appropriate for me to jump in here as I am not a developer or part of the team that squashes the bugs. I am just one of the people who filed the bug report, but what John Washington wrote struck me. I am a person who tries to be an advocate for Linux, Ubuntu in particular. One of the most compelling messages I've had is that older notebooks can be reborn as capable boxes. When I show someone their old ThinkPad running a stable, easy-to-use, secure OS with a modern browser, I've won more than a few converts. What Mr. Washington said about all those great old ThinkPads that can stand as persuasive examples of what is possible is so true. The Pentium M issue is a roadblock. I don't wish to distract from the process, so I will just say, Thank you. The work you folks do is important and is very much appreciated. Best wishes, - F. Stephen Costa.
