[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1270441@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

The error message is:
"This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae.
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for you CPU.

The System has a  Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1300MHz with the
following cpuid information:

00000001 00000695 00000812 00000000 a7e9fbbf

The CPU should be PAE capable (as many other Pentium/Celeron M CPU`s
are)

The problem  is that cpuinfo often does not correctly report about PAE
capability of Celeron/Pentium M.

I know there exists a long bugreport for this since 12.04, but since
it`s not listed as an open defect for trusty in the qatracker, i repost
to raise awareness.

Since trusty will be a LTS release, please take into account that you
lock out thousands of users with such cpu`s (older thinkpads for
example) for a long time and such users will either need to do lot`s of
work to make lubuntu run on such a system, or they will (more likely)
switch to a different distro like debian.

So, please someone either care for this issue _now_ to have it fixed for
14.04 or please close the existing bugreport and reject it as
invalid/won´t fix instead of  putting users off from month to month and
making them waste their time with reading this bugticket or adding
information to it.
