I have Dothan, it does not advertise PAE in cpuflags, but PAE kernel works. > the NX support that this is supposed to really be about came in with Dothan (which I assume will report under cpuflags in all circumstances?). No, my Dothan Pentium M (Family 6 model 13 with 400mhz bus) does not have PAE or NX in cpuflags. NX is supported via kernel patch (see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives /ubuntu-devel/2011-November/034502.html Dropping i386 non-PAE as a supported kernel flavour in Precise Pangolin - "This is about dropping non-PAE support, not dropping non-NX support. The NX emulation patch must remain in the kernel since a large number of systems have PAE but not NX.") > (Does Fedora do something more sane here?) Fedora supports i686 kernels without PAE. The installer chooses to install a PAE kernel (or not) based on CPU and memory config - PAE capable systems with <4GB will get non-PAE kernel, as it is slightly faster and all memory is usable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897786 Title: Kernel is dropping non-PAE flavour To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/897786/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
