@ Peter Hurley and all concerned, I'm not sure what could have gone wrong. I have no hardware that actually requires a non-pae kernel but I performed upgrade tests from desktop versions of both Oneiric and Lucid today and both remained non- pae. I simply used the command "update-manager -d -c" in both instances.
The Lucid was a fresh install of 10.04.4 and naturally began with an insignificant number of updates to Lucid itself before proceeding with the dist-upgrade, but all went well afterward. I did however file a bug report about wording of one of the dialogue prompts ....... minor, but I'm a whiner. The Oneiric install was naturally a different story, still a fresh install but it wanted 341 updates before proceeding with the upgrade, so I edited the software sources to require only "important security updates" and reloaded which brought the requirement down to only 81 updates. Then a restart was required, following that I once again ran "update-manager -d -c" and the dist-upgrade completed just fine. Note: Once Precise Beta 1 is released, or actually after each milestone release, you'd then want to drop the "-c" and rather just use the command "update-manager -d", but right now that would only give me Alpha 2 which was quite buggy for me, and it would of course require a sled load of updates. I've never done any server work so I'm not sure how the procedure for the server edition might vary. Testing is still ongoing with the non-pae mini.iso as I've requested some changes to 'tasksel'. I may not get around to retesting the mini.iso for nearly a week though. I hope this might be helpful to someone. -- 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
