pae kernel running fine on my non-pae flag IBM Thinkpad T40 1.5 gHz
Pentium M with Lubuntu precise pangolin 20120207 daily build install,
and as daily updated since. I haven't tried Live or install since Feb
7 so I don't know if the
-in my case, totally unnecessary check for pae-
is back into the daily builds or not.

No, it's ATI doesn't do unity-3D which is a non-problem to me since I
even run -2D on my notebook, netbook, tower that will run -3D. I don't
like big fuzzy out of focus graphics. Now when HUD comes around I'll
test that.
My experience I found a couple precise pangolin daily builds that
checked for pae flag and refused to boot.
Perhaps the 20120207 doesn't check for the flag - so it goes on and runs
live CD and installs and runs fine??
Did development test precise pangolin generic-pae would really fail??
Works fine on my T40.
"unable to boot" only becaue of the test for the pae flag?? Any way to
convince development into changing the test to a
"warning, pae flag not present, may not run, do you want to continue
Y/n"?? I'd say Y. Alpha/Beta/RC testing is risky anyway.
Anything I can test or report on for anyone?? (I'm not a developer, I
don't do kernel "make".)
