Title:
Non-pae kernel support missing in 12.10
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When I wanted to upgrade my nc6000 to quantal, I found that this isn't
possible, because there is no longer a non-pae kernel available. (The
CPU on this laptop seems to be missing some required extension.)
Linux has always been well known for (also) supporting older hardware.
And I can asure you that a nc6000 can support Ubuntu quite well. It
may not be the fastest machine, but I can do many things during
travels and don't have to be afraid of loosing an expensive notebook.
Of course, you might argue that I should stick to 12.04. But although
being LTS, at some time in the future support for 12.04 will be
dropped nevertheless. And currently, I don't see any reason why I
shouldn't be using my nc6000 still in, let's say 10 years.
What's the problem in continuing the support for the non-pae kernel?
It takes another compilation with one switch set differently, but this
shouldn't really be a problem.
