------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Did I download and process the correct files?

Note that this is 2.6.32-02063211-generic  not 2.6.32-02063211-generic-
pae.

Yes, it booted OK. (in low graphics mode due to the nvidia kernel module
not being set up for that startup)

Q: Are the errors acceptable?

Q: Do I need to compile the kernel?

Q: Do I need to do something to get the +drm33.2?

I noticed that I don't have an initrd.img for 2.6.32-22-generic-pae in /boot. Where do I get it? Why might it be missing?
Following advice from elsewhere, I did, as root:
cp /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-22-generic-pae

I did not set any permissions for the copied file.

This effort did not help. The ...-pae boot still hangs with a blinking
capslock light.

Q: Should I now turn off the needs upstream testing checkbox?
