Same issue for a Dell Inspirion 700M with 1.7ghz Pentium M processor. This is an early "ultrabook" 12" sub-compact notebook computer, built in 2004.
Ubuntu needs to continue to support the thousands of useable older notebook computers that have Pentium M processors in them. Forcing an install of an older version of Ubuntu, and then upgrading is not a user- friendly solution. I suggest checking the amount of memory during the install, and default to non-pae if 3gb or less memory installed, or prompting a question during the install asking if the system can support more than 4gb of memory.... -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
