[Bug 993939] Re: 12.04 Desktrop fails to load kernel; CPU has no PAE feature

[Stan Osborne]

Developers are building personal distros with the PAE kernel.
This allows people who are willing to download a non-supported
equivalent release to continue installing new releases of Ubuntu
on old hardare.   There is no technical reason for locking people
out of the future, it is soley a political one.   This prevents
the bottom feeders from receiving the benevolence of the work
done to cater to the 1%.  It also means Ubuntu is not longer for
everyone.

Title:
  12.04 Desktrop fails to load kernel; CPU has no PAE feature

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Downloaded 12.04 Desktop 32-bit to my Dell Inspiron 8600 running Windows XP.
  The ISO was burned to a CD.  Then rebooting the Ubuntu boot sequence would
  report it was unable to load kernel as CPU did not have PAE supportr.  This is
  preventing me from getting to the menu of choices.  11.10 was able to get far
  enough to display the menu.

  If 12.04 will not run on this particular desktop, there should be a better documentaiton
  on which kinds of Pentium hardware are supported by 12.04 LTS.
