As a 64-bit ubuntu user, I was unaware of this issue until I tired to test lubuntu on my 2 older laptops: Dell 600m, Fujitsu P-Lifebook. I downloaded the Alternate 386 iso file last night and discovered to my great surprise that this version also requires the pae capability to either perform an install or a disk check. For a version "designed for low RAM systems" with less than 700MB, it is incredible that it also fell into the pae trap. At this point, claims that lubuntu is "non-pae" seem somewhat hollow at best.
For those of us on the outside, the decision to drop support for non-pae systems for 12.10 and beyond seems cavalier in a way that I never detected before in ubuntu development, over a period of 7 years. -- 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
