one interesting finding: i tried grub4dos (0.95) to boot /casper/vmlinuz+initrd.lz from USB and it also does NOT boot , but also bails out with the "missing pae" message.
so, apparently it`s NOT a syslinux triggered problem. maybe this has something to do with realmode ? think we need to find out why normal grub _does_ work. -- 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/syslinux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
