Including a PAE only kernel with the default ISO significantly and unnecessarily limits scope for installation of 12.04, and going forward, Ubuntu generally.
Many good spec machines don't have PAE. A notable example being Centrino laptops. Within weeks (or days) of a distribution being released, a new kernel is generally available for update. Perhaps the sensible approach would be for the package manager to install the latest PAE kernel on first update IF the CPU supports PAE. -- 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 start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
