I changed the title/description of this bug report based on knowledge gathered here:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+question/187166 and also at bug 897786. While I personally have no hardware that won't run the pae kernel a few people have reported the inability to install the i386 Precise Alpha 2 image due to the change to pae, generally with an error like "kernel requires feature pae and won't boot". Sadly most people that are effected by a bug just complain and won't take the time to actually report it. In this case BubbaJ was the first person I managed to convince to report it so you could collect a hardware profile. You might also find this info helpful: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11661116&postcount=1 I've since learned that Lubuntu will not be rebuilding with the non-pae kernel, so those wanting a fresh install of Precise will need to either use the non-pae mini.iso (which can be troublesome) or upgrade from Oneiric. I find this problematic and not truly in the spirit of "supporting non- pae throughout the Precise life cycle, therefore providing another 5 years of support"! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930447 Title: Unable to Install Ubuntu 12.04 on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to PAE kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
