Two possible workarounds: * Use a non-PAE kernel - see "How to install Ubuntu 12.10 on non-PAE CPU" at http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-install-ubuntu-1210-on- non-pae.html which explains how to modify the iso and links to .deb packages at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~webtom/+junk/linux-image-i386 -non-pae/files
* Use the PAE kernel with "fake-pae" - it adds pae to /proc/cpuflags so the check in the Ubuntu package will pass - see https://launchpad.net/~prof7bit/+archive/fake-pae and the associated discussion thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2113826 (this option works surprisingly well - it appears that the PAE kernel runs fine on Pentium M CPUs, which is surprising because the kernel config help states "If you say 64GB here, then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!") -- 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
