Hi Nio,

I probably should have linked that bug report differently. I was just
trying to show that I originally renamed the bug to; "Unable to Install
Ubuntu 12.04 on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to PAE kernel."

It's since been renamed "Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with
syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel,
initramfs or syslinux".

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/930447

The kernel team marked it "won't fix", and it's unassigned in syslinux,
but it is assigned to a Baltix dev.

So I think a new bug would just be duplicate of that.
