Title:
  Non-pae kernel support missing in 12.10

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I wanted to upgrade my nc6000 to quantal, I found that this isn't
  possible, because there is no longer a non-pae kernel available. (The
  CPU on this laptop seems to be missing some required extension.)

  Linux has always been well known for (also) supporting older hardware.
  And I can asure you that a nc6000 can support Ubuntu quite well. It
  may not be the fastest machine, but I can do many things during
  travels and don't have to be afraid of loosing an expensive notebook.

  Of course, you might argue that I should stick to 12.04. But although
  being LTS, at some time in the future support for 12.04 will be
  dropped nevertheless. And currently, I don't see any reason why I
  shouldn't be using my nc6000 still in, let's say 10 years.

  What's the problem in continuing the support for the non-pae kernel?
  It takes another compilation with one switch set differently, but this
  shouldn't really be a problem.
