I understand your concern. The fact that certain CPUs are buggy and do not declare PAE capability is a hardware bug which cannot be rectified and if quirks are needed on the kernel side, the right way is to essentially white-list / set PAE options of the affected CPUs. ubuntu kernels do not typically apply original patches, mostly only cherrypicks from upstream trees/vendors. > sure it is not perfect and not the optimal way to proceed, but it is a > solution to a problem. > > we wouldn`t have this problem and we wouldn`t have this patch if there > wasn`t the discision to drop support for non-pae kernels. > > so hopefully the ubuntu kernel maintainers will give a comment on this > patch or pick it up to make a version which fulfils kernel code- > quality/style or patch-submission requirements. > > this patch is rather unintrusive and it easily solves a problem for many > users. i spend many hours on debugging this issue and developing this > patch, so for now please understand that i`m done with it. > > lkml reference: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=138550884425543&w=2 > I understand your concerns, and I'll talk to kernel team, to see if we can get this properly worked out and upstreamed.
