I was testing the Lubuntu Trusty desktop i386 final iso file and had the message 'This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU' when I tried to install the low latency kernel.
Please make the installer (or some other program part) add forcepae into /etc/default/grub and from there into /boot/grub/grub.cfg so that it will be possible to install and upgrade kernels. The *big* problem will arrive, when new kernel versions arrive, and the system wants to upgrade to them. And we can expect quite a lot of new users who come to Lubuntu and Xubuntu after the end of life of Windows XP. Let us save trouble for these new users by adding forcepae automatically to the installed system :-) -o- Just to confirm my suggested solution, I added forcepae to /etc/default/grub and ran sudo update-grub After reboot it was possible to install the new kernel (in this somewhat synthetic case the low-latency kernel), and the computer can run with it (both kernels work). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307105 Title: Kernel install fails due PAE checks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1307105/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
