12.04 is the last release that will support non-PAE. The default (and boot) kernel for 12.04 32 bit is now the PAE kernel, so there is no easy way to install a non-PAE kernel. We are only providing an upgrade path from prior releases.
If you can boot 11.10, I would suggest trying to upgrade to 12.04 beta versus a fresh install. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945865 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 i386 Beta-1 will not run on IBM Thinkpad T42 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/945865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
