Title:
Kernel install fails due PAE checks
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
[TRIAGE NOTE]
When a user boots Ubuntu Live/Install media with 'forcepae' option, the option should automatically be added to /etc/default/grub, or kernel upgrades will refuse to install when they do not see pae capability in cpuinfo.
[ORIGINAL REPORT]
On Thinkpad T42 with Pentium M processor linux image upgrade fails with message "This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU.". System was installed from ubuntu-14.04-beta2-desktop-i386.iso with "forcepae" kernel option. After install, system works, but cannot be upgraded to laters kernel.
