Public bug reported:
Ububtu 12.04 i386 Beta-1 will not run on IBM Thinkpad T42.
I downloaded ubuntu-12.04-beta1-desktop-i386.iso today (Mar 3, 2012) for
the purpose of testing the beta-1 release on my IBM Thinkpad T42 Laptop
computer. I then used k3b to burn a CD-ROM. I then resterted the
computer with the intent of running the CD-ROM in 'LIVE' mode. Much to
my amazement, I received an error report from the disk reporting that
the kernel demands features not present in the cpu of the laptop!
Note that I got the same reaction from a CD-ROM burned from
kubuntu-12.04-beta1-desktop-i386!
What happened to the reputation that Ubuntu will run very nicely on
older computers?
Note that I am currently running Ubuntu 11.04 which will loose its
support in the fall of 2012 (18 months from release)
