[Kernel-packages] [Bug 930447] Re: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux
Sorry for the confusion, *I asked* I have a couple of questions about your Sony Vaio with Pentium M: What happens when you try to boot a PAE kernel with forcepae? Do you get an error message? Black screen? Are you sure it is not 'only' a problem with some other hardware, for example graphics or wifi? You could try to boot with the boot option 'text' and switch off the wifi if possible. *The owner replied* Most of my 'nonpae' observations have come inside VirtualBox where I noticed the 'pae/nx' checkbox is greyed out and every distro. I try that is pae only, informs me that I have a cpu that doesn't support the pae option. Trying 'forcepae' using a recent kernel eventually ended with a blank black screen. I tried to use a Gparted live CD recently and that gave me a similar message when it attempted to boot. Yesterday I squeezed some unused space out of my HDD using Gparted and created an empty new extra linux partition (about 9 GiB) and I'll try a 'real metal' install of a pae kernel sometime later today. *I replied* You can test that it is not problems with the graphics chip using the boot options 'forcepae text' in a 'standard Lubuntu 14.04 LTS installer'. *And the owner solved the problem* You were quite correct to keep asking questions. Using the 'forcepae' parameter I have now successfully installed Lubuntu 14.04 on 'baremetal'. I'm happy with that as you can imagine. There are many ways that I tried before that failed but obviously there is nothing that replaces a 'baremetal' install. My first clue that it may work was when I used 'forcepae' to boot from the LiveCD that I made and that worked. Apologies for causing you extra work and innocently misleading your research. All's well that ends well, as the saying goes. -- 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/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “syslinux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't start from Desktop CD or USB with syslinux boot loader on Pentium M 1.6Ghz or faster Pentium M CPU - displays error message about missing PAE feature in CPU, but *the same* *Ubuntu 12.04* Desktop CD/LiveUSB starts fine on *the same CPU* (and same PAE kernel) if GRUB boot loader is used, for example when WUBI or LiveUSB with GRUB boot loader, like Multisystem (http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install ) is used!

The vast majority of Pentium M and Celeron M CPUs are suitable for fakepae or forcepae and can work with PAE kernels. But some of these processors need a non-pae kernel. We found a Pentium M 1.70 GHz which does not work with forcepae.

We found a Pentium M 1.70 GHz which does not work with forcepae. It gives the following output from cpuid|grep ^0001 0001 06d6 0816 0180 afe9fbbf What happens when you try to boot with forcepae? Do you get an error message? Black screen? In the wiki you have mentioned afe9fbbf for both of the CPUs that lack PAE capability but the 1.2GHz that was reported to not work has cpuid a7e9fbbf and the 1.7Ghz afe9fbbf which are different (a7,af) Compiling a non-PAE kernel is trivial - you just need to `apt-get source linux-image`, set CONFIG_X86_PAE=y in .config then `dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc`. You could easily automate this from a 32-bit 14.04 daily cron job that checks whether there is a new kernel version, and if so rebuild the kernel and pushes the result to a PPA (which would have to be enabled by default in Lubuntu or whatever). -- 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/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “syslinux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't start from Desktop CD or USB with syslinux boot loader on Pentium M 1.6Ghz or faster Pentium M CPU - displays error message about missing PAE feature in CPU, but *the same* *Ubuntu 12.04* Desktop CD/LiveUSB starts fine on *the same CPU* (and same PAE kernel) if GRUB boot loader is used, for example when WUBI or LiveUSB with GRUB boot loader, like Multisystem (http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install ) is used!

Hi Chris, 1. It is not my computer. I have one with a very similar Pentium M CPU which works with forcepae. I have asked the same questions but not yet received a full answer from the owner. I will ask again ... 2. Thanks for finding the difference between the cpuid flags a7e9fbbf and afe9fbbf (a7,af). The wiki page is corrected now. 3. In post #279 you told us about Will Haley's instructions to make a syslinux system. Starting from those instructions I made a system that can install an Ubuntu minimal text screen system with a non-pae kernel compiled by Phill Whiteside. This is described in the following link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/9w It is very easy to expand that minimal Ubuntu system into Lubuntu or Xubuntu (or an Ubuntu Server). If I understand it correctly, Phill intends to maintain the non-pae kernel. Anyway, thanks for the tips about making and keeping a non-pae kernel up to date :-) -- 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/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “syslinux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't start from Desktop CD or USB with syslinux boot loader on Pentium M 1.6Ghz or faster Pentium M CPU - displays error message about missing PAE feature in CPU, but *the same* *Ubuntu 12.04* Desktop CD/LiveUSB starts fine on *the same CPU* (and same PAE kernel) if GRUB boot loader is used, for example when WUBI or LiveUSB with GRUB boot loader, like Multisystem (http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install ) is used!

Hi Luis, Now that I have got into it I might do this if I feel the need to upgrade to the latest greatest version - so, thanks for the howto. Unfortunately I am afraid that many disenfranchised Win XP users will not fiddle around like this (or even read this thread to find how to). It's a pity because, once I got past the pae issue I found something far more mature and developed than I ever suspected. I know there is probably some good reason but it would be nice if the next version could automatically add the 'forcepae' if it found the appropriate conditions to do so. @l-colin, 14.04 works flawlessly in Celeron/Pentium M processor systems. You just need to add forcepae do the kernel command line (at boot) On a livecd, press anykey as soon as it loads (the first purple screen). Use the F6 option to add the forcepae.

This may not have been a burning issue in the past but, with Win XP going unsupported, there are many Celeron/Pentium M processor systems (concurrent with Win XP). that are now looking for easy solutions. I am in exactly that position and have never touched any flavour of Linux before. I needed something reasonably well packaged without a huge learning curve up front. I tried various other flavours of Linux (including Lubuntu 12.04) and none of them really floated my boat but then I found the nonpae 12.04 desktop build mentioned by Dave Henningsson in reply #84 and that is exactly what an ignorant exile from Win XP was looking for. Easy to install, well packaged, no learning of command line fiddles and easy to use for a Linux first timer. Thanks Dave. If it was that easy without searching then I guess more ex XP users would migrate rather than give up and go away. Incidentally - Dave said he hadn't fully tested this build - I have given it quite a bending and have found no problems so far. -- 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/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “syslinux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't start from Desktop CD or USB with syslinux boot loader on Pentium M 1.6Ghz or faster Pentium M CPU - displays error message about missing PAE feature in CPU, but *the same* *Ubuntu 12.04* Desktop CD/LiveUSB starts fine on *the same CPU* (and same PAE kernel) if GRUB boot loader is used, for example when WUBI or LiveUSB with GRUB boot loader, like Multisystem (http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install ) is used!

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 930447] Re: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux
This is absolutly amasing news guyes, had lost any hope that this status
on this bug would ever change. Thankyou to the most persistent advocats
arguing this bug should be solved, and not least to Chris and others
involved in figuring out howto...
After reciving these great news, the first thing I did was to download the
Kubuntu Trusty daily image (2014.03.06) from cdimages.ubunut.com. Used a
12.04.4 box an flashed the Trusty ISO to an USB stick, using the Start Disk
Creator a so often before. Booting my good old ThinkPad R51 from the USB
stick, just to eksperience the your CPU i not supported ... no PAE. Restarded
the R51 and added the kernel forcepae parameter to the syslinux parameter
line.
Things looked excactly the same as so often before, installing any sort of
12.04 ubuntu flavors. Back to the other ubuntu box, re-fdisk and format the
USB, Start Disk Creator and then ever so often used grub2 installation to USB
when creating 12.04.x USBs for older hardware:
sudo grub-install --recheck --boot-directory /media/usb-stick/boot /dev/sdX
nano /media/usb-stick/boot/grub.cfg
menuentry 'Start Kubuntu' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class
os {
recordfail
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
echo'Indlaeser Linux 3.13.0-16-generic-pae ...'
linux /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/kubuntu.seed boot=casper
maybe-ubiquity quiet splash --
echo'Indlaeser startramdisk ...'
initrd /casper/initrd.lz
}
Returned the stick to the good old R51, at it just booted from the USB
like a charm - just amasing. So right now upgrades from Precise to
Trusty should work correct ?, but the old syslinux original of this
bug still persist right ?.
So new users, and users unaware of this bug, will still experienc
problems booting CDs or USB sticks created from ISOs, which with all the
good work and all the posting above seems almost unbearable to me...

Restarded the R51 and added the kernel forcepae parameter to the syslinux parameter line. Things looked excactly the same as so often before, installing any sort of 12.04 ubuntu flavors. but the old syslinux original of this bug still persist right ?. No, it shouldn`t. If booted via syslinux and adding forcepae as a bootparam, it should boot - regardless if being botted via grub 16-bit mode or via syslinux or whatever. could you please re-check if you typed it correctly? does your method of creating a bootable iso really use the kernel from the recent cd-image, or maybe there`s an older kernel in place? if that fails for you and if you are that your cpu does have pae, please post the contents of /proc/cpuinfo. you may attach an usb cd-rom to your r51 and try to directly boot from that. i´m curious what`s going wrong here. -- 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/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “syslinux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't start from Desktop CD or USB with syslinux boot loader on Pentium M 1.6Ghz or faster Pentium M CPU - displays error message about missing PAE feature in CPU, but *the same* *Ubuntu 12.04* Desktop CD/LiveUSB starts fine on *the same CPU* (and same PAE kernel) if GRUB boot loader is used, for example when WUBI or LiveUSB with GRUB boot loader, like Multisystem (http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install ) is used!

Now it is time for me to say thank you :-) First of all, *I want to thank everybody contributing* to solving this bug, or complex of bugs, concerning Pentium M and Celeron M CPUs and new Ubuntu based kernels. Then I want to mention roland aus köln (devzero-c), who continued pushing this issue when we had given up (either completely or like me, resorting to work-arounds). And I want to thank Chris Bainbridge, who was able to do the actual bug- fixes that made the ship turn around. I don't know if you are a developer or a very skilled user, but you made a great difference. Finally I want to thank you Chris for sharing the link to instructions, that actually got me over the threshold to build a custom syslinux bootable system. I'm working right now on a debian system, that should be able to install from a CD/DVD or USB drive to very different systems (including very old and limited systems) by flashing compressed image files (img.xz files) or iso files and growing the file system when there is extra space available. I show the link again for everybody else, who might be interested. It works for me with a couple of minor tweaks, the main one that I needed to import a gpg key separately. Best regards sudodus alias Nio - Comment #279 - Chris Bainbridge (chris-bainbridge) wrote on 2014-03-03:#279 lkml: grub is jumping to the 32-bit entry point and skipping the entire real mode setup code.

@Chris -- I have taken the liberty of cleaning up the commentary on those two patches and applying them to a 14.04 kernel for testing. You might want to do something similar (feel free to steal the text I used and clean it up) and then submit the patches together to upstream for consideration; as things have been left I doubt they will be applied as the diff and commentary were separate. Also could you test these kernels and let me know if they work at all, I do not have affected h/w. We can then consider this for the 14.04 kernel.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 930447] Re: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux
There were *very* strong signals that the board, deciding about the main-stream ubuntu edition, had decided to stop supporting non-pae CPUs including Pentium M amd Celeron M, and that the decision was not going to be changed. You think that fake-PAE has been counter-productive, that it has done more harm than good. Maybe you are right, maybe not. I still think it was right to offer it as a solution to users, who would otherwise not use these computers with modern Ubuntu based versions (because I thought that the decision was not going to be changed). However, I'm hoping it will change now, that there will be Trusty kernels, that can be booted and upgraded with Pentium M amd Celeron M. I can understand that you and many other people do not trust minor distros or the organisations behind them or community re-spins. But who can we trust? I think the [big] companies are at least as likely to create and hide back-doors for themselves or some national intelligence service organisation. -- 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/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “syslinux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't start from Desktop CD or USB with syslinux boot loader on Pentium M 1.6Ghz or faster Pentium M CPU - displays error message about missing PAE feature in CPU, but *the same* *Ubuntu 12.04* Desktop CD/LiveUSB starts fine on *the same CPU* (and same PAE kernel) if GRUB boot loader is used, for example when WUBI or LiveUSB with GRUB boot loader, like Multisystem (http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install ) is used!

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 930447] Re: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux
I'm reprinting what I wrote in comment #105 because it is still so very
easy to install PAE, though it does require a little effort.
1) Download ISO of ubuntu flavor you wish to use, for example, xubuntu. I wil
use the name xubuntu.iso, for convenience.
2) partition and format USB stick, in this example, /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1. The
USBStick has to be larger then the iso. Use mkvfat for formatting of /dev/sdb1.
3) Eject and insert the USB to have the automounter mount the USB drive. Make
note of the location.
4) Use grub to install grub to the USB stick
grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/media/ubuntu/2341-af31/
(obviously this will have to match the mounted path)
5) grub-mkconfig /meda/ubuntu/2341-af31/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Open grub.cfg in your favorite editor and remove all the menuentry
sections to replace it with the following.
menuentry Xubuntu (32bit) {
iso_path=/xubuntu-13.10-dvd-i386.iso
export iso_path
search --set --file $iso_path
loopback loop $iso_path
root=(loop)
configfile /grub/loopback.cfg
loopback --delete loop
}
Save, unmount and reboot from the USB stick.
What will happen is, the USB stick will be booted as usual by grub, grub
will then do a loopback mount of the iso, as is (so no modification to
it required). The beauty of this all is, you can add MORE iso's and just
add menu entries for them. So xubuntu 32bit, 64bit, gnomebuntu, you name
it, you can add it. The only requirement is that the iso does actually
support grub booting (e.g. has the /grub/loopback.cfg). Not all iso's
have this!
After the installer has finished, it is required however to install
fake-pae to make updates function properly, so to that extend, this
bugreport is still relevant.

I am not a dev, not a skilled programmer, but only a loyal and satisfied ubuntu user since I switched from Suse to Dapper Drake 6.06 on my deprecated Pentium M. This old and poor notebook have seen also Windows XP, Windows Vista and now it can also run Windows 7 with not much pretends. I decided to give him new life upgrading from 11.10 and make Xubuntu 13.10 the only OS installed in my notebook and guess what?? I cannot install it. Why?? PAE Kernel!! I had to install 12.04, install fake-pae and the make 3 (THREE) dist upgrades! (after days of research) The system goes smooth and fast as it has never been, so what's the problem of adding those few lines of code in linux kernel? Why force users that have a PAE capable cpu (unlikely not advertised) to make tricks and 3-4-5 etc distribution upgrades just to be able to install the latest distribution that could also run with no problems at all? I understand that old hardware cannot been supported forever...but this is not the case for Pentium M. Should I have stayed with Windows 7 or even XP? This will be the scenario the first time I will be in need of formatting my notebook (don't have the will/the time to make 4-5-... dist upgrade from 12.04 everytime). I really thanks all the devs, but the decision to drop off pae without thinking about consequencies, is a little bit stupid. I decided to write this comment just to point out that LIKE ME, there are thousands (not hundreds) of desktop users like me that decided to return to run Windows on their systems after that decision and they didn't come to launchpad to make you know.

i read experimental in those links - and i think there are people who dislike installing their operating system in a re-packaged way from a community based, untrusted source. nothing against you, nio, you appear trustworthy - but i`m one of those. if all the community efforts had been put into the kernel fix instead of fake pae or building alternative installation methods , then we would not sit here and discuss. it may be a logical step, that these workaround exist, but it`s always better to adress the root cause instead of tempering with a symptom. it was good work to provide those workarounds, but it would be even better work to integrate the kernel fix from upstream now and help bugging the ubuntu devs to do so. while writing this, i bet the kernel based fix had probably alrady being done if the community workarounds never existed, because while they existed the ubuntu devs could lean back and tell the user: Pentium M? naah, that`s old, watch out for fake-pae and alternative installer disks as a workaround. that probably HELPED a LOT of users but it did not help fixing the root cause, because many users never needed to complain because of that. linux people like tinkering...oh yes. -- 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/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “syslinux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't start from Desktop CD or USB with syslinux boot loader on Pentium M 1.6Ghz or faster Pentium M CPU - displays error message about missing PAE feature in CPU, but *the same* *Ubuntu 12.04* Desktop CD/LiveUSB starts fine on *the same CPU* (and same PAE kernel) if GRUB boot loader is used, for example when WUBI or LiveUSB with GRUB boot loader, like Multisystem (http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install ) is used!

hi there! reverted bug-status back to confirmed. There are other bug-statii like opinion, incomplete, fix released, fix commited Non of these reflect the situation, neither.

May be one-hundred-papercuts is the right place if you feel a bug doesn't get enough attention foralongtime. that`s a pointer, thanks. Another valuable thought is that one cannot blame the ubuntu-people solely for not getting this right yes, for sure intel also is to blame, but when the ubuntu team decided to drop non-pae kernel ( http://ubuntu.5.x6.nabble.com/Dropping-i386 -non-PAE-as-a-supported-kernel-flavour-in-Precise-Pangolin-td366373.html ) they should better care for the consequences instead of ignoring the problems of hundreds of users. and , they cannot say that nobody complained - there had been complaints already at time of the announcement. i would have no problem when ubuntu was simply ubuntu desktop, but there is ubuntu server, there is ltsp, there is lubuntu and there is xubuntu, and these are all suitable or even meant for old hardware. hardware you cannot use with these ubuntu derivates anymore. and there are many more ubuntu based distros - get a clue at: http://distrowatch.com/search.php?basedon=Ubuntu so, deciding to drop non-pae ubuntu team also decided killing old hardware, as users are more likely to switch to new hardware than switching to a distro like debian. @ roland aus koeln: Keep in mind: a bug report disappears from list once it's marked as invalid. But is also appears in trusty i neither maintain this bug nor can i remember touching this bug`s status information, i´m not even sure if i can change a bug`s status at all. what i really no not understand is why adding my rather non-intrusive patch to the ubuntu kernel as a workaround to the drop-non- pae-decision is such a no-go and why kernel devs telling they would probably have a look and probably make a better version of it and then i never ever get any response again. to me this looks like they neither put attention on this issue nor do they appreciate/esteem work/fixes from the user community, as the work i put into this is for nothing and just a waste of time. -- 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/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “syslinux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't start from Desktop CD or USB with syslinux boot loader on Pentium M 1.6Ghz or faster Pentium M CPU - displays error message about missing PAE feature in CPU, but *the same* *Ubuntu 12.04* Desktop CD/LiveUSB starts fine on *the same CPU* (and same PAE kernel) if GRUB boot loader is used, for example when WUBI or LiveUSB with GRUB boot loader, like Multisystem (http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install ) is used!

With Ubuntu 13.10 it has become a mess. I tried to install it 4 times on my notebook now. It would go through the complete installation process and only at the end suddenly the kernel failed to install. I thought I may have connectivity problems at first. Only after manually doing a dpkg -i on the kernel deb through a root shell, I saw the error message about non-PAE.

For clarity the error referred to in this bug is emitted by the kernel from its 16bit entry point. The same check is not made when booted via its 32bit entry point. This is arguably a bug, the kernel should check and refuse to run when required features are not present. In this case the main issue is that some PAE capable CPUs do not correctly list this in their CPUID capability bits. The logical fix is to fake the PAE bit for those cpus, through a whitelist. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: syslinux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- 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/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “syslinux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't start from Desktop CD or USB with syslinux boot loader on Pentium M 1.6Ghz or faster Pentium M CPU - displays error message about missing PAE feature in CPU, but *the same* *Ubuntu 12.04* Desktop CD/LiveUSB starts fine on *the same CPU* (and same PAE kernel) if GRUB boot loader is used, for example when WUBI or LiveUSB with GRUB boot loader, like Multisystem (http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install ) is used!

On 29 November 2013 16:22, Andy Whitcroft a...@canonical.com wrote: For clarity the error referred to in this bug is emitted by the kernel from its 16bit entry point. The same check is not made when booted via its 32bit entry point. This is arguably a bug, the kernel should check and refuse to run when required features are not present. In this case the main issue is that some PAE capable CPUs do not correctly list this in their CPUID capability bits. The logical fix is to fake the PAE bit for those cpus, through a whitelist.

Chris, I think Shahar's idea is to submit the patch and hopefully gets merged so that regular users don't have to remove anything to get everything working.

A patch effort isn't necessary. The CPU check is one line of code in kernel package preinst.
