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.

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
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
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
Chris - thanks for updating your patch. I committed a variation of it
to trunk and will upload a new version of the release upgrader shortly.

Until the new patches in the main-stream code trickle down (maybe it

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. Pointing at

Re #10 and #11, it gave me a chuckle! :) But actually there's something
serious here as well. Not just that the wiki would seem to be not quite
right, but also that some well-understood convention is needed, for use
when one person justifiably assigns a bug to another.
Indeed, even assigning a
People mistakenly assign bugs to themselves all of the time. I really
doubt better documentation would help in most of those cases...
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing the 'Assigned to' field go away
completely or have write access limited.

The convention is already well understood among Ubuntu developers...
