"This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU"

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension#Design> says: 
"The Linux kernel supports PAE as a build option and most major distributions 
provide a PAE kernel either as the default or as an option (Red Hat Enterprise 
Linux 6+ kernels expect PAE)"

It seems the system is trying to upgrade from a non-PAE kernel to a PAE
one, in a non-PAE processor.

** Description changed:

- Failed during install
+ It is not possible to upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 12.10 in a
+ non-PAE processor, since the kernel used in 12.10 only supports PAE
+ processors.
