Got a weird solution for you...

I had the exact same error message popup using Ubuntu v12.04 Desktop, and 
Ubuntu v12.04 Alternate (both x86):
-------------------
This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU:
pae
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.
-------------------
And the computer just hangs at this point.

Then I tried installing Ubuntu v12.04 Business Desktop Remix, and voila
- it installed like it should have. I guess it is still using the non-
PAE kernel?

I wonder how many people managed to get beyond the pae error... I read a
lot of suggestion for people having issues installing Ubuntu on Eee PC
701 that said to boot into Live Mode, then modify
/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/misc.py. and change "min_disk_size = size *
2" to "min_disk_size = size * 1.4"... I couldn't install or boot Ubuntu
until I used the Business Remix, and then it just worked, I didn't have
any 4GB size limit issues at all...
