Title:
  package linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic (not installed) failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error
  exit status 1

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I am trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 on my eeePC (one of the
  originals) and I get this error messagepackage

  linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic (not installed) failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error
  exit status 1

  During the install process, it said there was an error in installing
  linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic. It said:

  "This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU."

                 ......whatever that means.

  From Sysinfo, the CPU is:  GenuineIntel
  Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor          900MHz
  Frequency: 630.095 MHz

  GNOME: 3.6.0 (Ubuntu 2012-10-04)
  Kernel: 2.0-32-generic (#51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 26 21:32:50 UTC 2012)
  GCC Version: 4.7 (i686-linux-gnu)
  XOrg Version:1.13.0 (08 October 2012  03:34:08PM)

  Is this enough information for someone to diagnose and repair the
  problem?

  When I try running ubuntu-bug linux, it comes up with a message: this
  problem cannot be reported.

  The information collected by  cat /proc/version_signature > version.log is:
  Ubuntu 3.2.0-32.51-generic 3.2.30

  I attached the lspci-vnvn.log

  When I ran the Software Center, it said I had to do a repair. This is
  the result of that attempt:
