>From what I understand Oliver is saying in #97, the problem is not that a non-pae kernel should be supportet, but that the LiveCD does prevent installation on boxes that run the -pae kerne just fine.
I've successfully installed and used the -pae enabled kernel on a ThinkPad R51, on which I receive the the error message about the the CPU not supporting PAE when running the LiveCD. A clean installation was first carried out using the the non-pae mini.iso (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/non-pae/mini.iso) to perform a network installation. After the installation and a full online-update was done, the PAE enabled kernel (linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic-pae_3.2.0-24.39_i386) was installed. A reboot and a the non-PAE kernel ( linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic_3.2.0-24.39_i386) was removed. I've tried (like #96 suggested) to exchange the kernel and initrd in /casper on the LiveCD from USB (by startup-disk creator), with the working -pae kernel from harddisk. It bootet from the USB, but the error message about missing PAE capability was still thrown, why I believe it must be somthing in the squashfs image then. So the conclusion must be, like that of that the #91, that there is a bug in the LiveCD image, that prevent it from running the PAE enabled kernel even on some PAE capable hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
