Title:
  Unable to boot lubuntu trusty daily build 17.01.2013 on celeron M
  1300Mhz

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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.
