Yes, I think that 386 Ubuntu Linux images are build with 686 instruction
set compatibility. 386 meaning here x86.

Anyway, you might have a way to force enabling PAE on your Celeron in
Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE


Thank you.

That is how I managed to initially install the operating system.

I have not tried, and, do not know how, to apply that fix as part of a
kernel upgrade, and thence, I can not either update, or, add packages
to, that computer, within that operating system installation.

I guess it is now just a permanent bug in Ubuntu "i386", if the
problem does not apply to kernels outside Ubuntu.

Here is the message I missed. ;)

Looks like you may have missed the '-- forcepae' part of the 'forcepae -- forcepae' that signals the installer to use the forcepae option in the installed system. Or if you did upgrade the kernel previously, could still
be a bug somewhere that caused the forcepae option to be lost.

There is a bug report here

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1307105

With instructions....

/Are you still booting with the forcepae option? If not, you'll need to add it./

/gksu gedit /etc/default/grub/

/Make GRUB_CMDLINE_//LINUX_DEFAULT line look like://
//GRUB_CMDLINE_//LINUX_DEFAULT=//"quiet splash forcepae"/

/Save. Quit. Run://
//sudo update-grub/

/Reboot and try the update again./

Later, Seeker
