This is absolutly amasing news guyes, had lost any hope that this status
on this bug would ever change. Thankyou to the most persistent advocats
arguing this bug should be solved, and not least to Chris and others
involved in figuring out howto...
After reciving these great news, the first thing I did was to download the
Kubuntu Trusty daily image (2014.03.06) from cdimages.ubunut.com. Used a
12.04.4 box an flashed the Trusty ISO to an USB stick, using the "Start Disk
Creator" a so often before. Booting my good old ThinkPad R51 from the USB
stick, just to eksperience the "your CPU i not supported ... no PAE". Restarded
the R51 and added the kernel "forcepae" parameter to the syslinux parameter
line.
Things looked excactly the same as so often before, installing any sort of
12.04 ubuntu flavors. Back to the other ubuntu box, re-fdisk and format the
USB, "Start Disk Creator" and then ever so often used grub2 installation to USB
when creating 12.04.x USBs for older hardware:
sudo grub-install --recheck --boot-directory /media/usb-stick/boot /dev/sdX
nano /media/usb-stick/boot/grub.cfg
menuentry 'Start Kubuntu' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class
os {
recordfail
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
echo 'Indlaeser Linux 3.13.0-16-generic-pae ...'
linux /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/kubuntu.seed boot=casper
maybe-ubiquity quiet splash --
echo 'Indlaeser startramdisk ...'
initrd /casper/initrd.lz
}
Returned the stick to the good old R51, at it just booted from the USB
like a charm - just amasing. So right now upgrades from Precise to
Trusty should work correct ?, but the old syslinux "original" of this
bug still persist right ?.
So new users, and users unaware of this bug, will still experienc
problems booting CDs or USB sticks created from ISOs, which with all the
good work and all the posting above seems almost unbearable to me...
