>>as Debian also includes a pae flags check in the 686 kernel package
>the pae flags check is in the x86 bootcode of the kernel and apparently it depends on the bootloader if it`s being executed or not. I meant the check in the linux-image-* package preinst, the check prevents the package from being installed on systems where pae is not in cpu flags. I thought that Debian had the same check, but in fact it doesn't now - either I remembered incorrectly or the check was removed at some point. -- 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
