This looks lunatic to me: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/linux-generic-pae (Transitional package - this is a wrapper?)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/linux-generic (This contains the PAE- part of the Kernel?) Distributions find their own namings for Kernels (may be o.k. in little variants), but saying the PAE is the Non-PAE is strange thinking (absolutely illogical to me) – a camouflaged PAE-Kernel ) If it's hard to understand: try it the other way around - What if: non- PAE had been kept & PAE would have been kicked - same naming? See? Anyway, the -i386 was actually removed from the original Linux-Kernel (I can open new bug on this?): > http://www.muktware.com/4967/linux-kills- intels-386-processors#.UMiPlnKMy7J dated 12.12.12 So the newer kernels should probably rather differentiate e.g. into i486/AMD64 than into i386/AMD64 on top. On one old little machine Dell D600 I had no Problems installing a PAE- Kernel, nowadays I need to change the pre-inst. script on every Kernel- Update or install a fake-PAE upstart skript. My old anger came up upon usage of a Live-CD of Elemntary-OS. It refused to start: "Use an appropriate Kernel, bla" The Machine runs with Mainline Kernel 3.10 PAE. This may thrift away a lot of people from Ubuntu & it's derivates. Enough reason to finally start thinking "Is it worth a bug report?" Apport can't help here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1214462 Title: Kernel Description doesn't explain its a PAE-Kernel _ since 3.4.0.1.1 _ Linus would not smile _. Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Dear Developers and maintainers, trying not to make a big fuzz about it: Let me just quote https://bugs.launchpad.net/baltix/+bug/930447/comments/97 from 2012-06-05 (referencing the release-notes on 12.04.2): > The non-PAE version of the Linux kernel will be dropped completely > following the 12.04 release. Pls correct me and mark as invalid, if Ubuntu doesn't have to follow naming conventions given on the Linux-Kernel. Trying to find appropiate information in the package change-log: linux-meta (3.4.0.1.1) quantal; urgency=low * Open Quantal Quetzal 12.10 * Temporarily disable LBM * Remove non-PAE i386 references -- mail adress hid...@canonical.com> Wed, 02 May 2012 06:21:45 -0700 Pls clarify this and correct Ubuntus Kernel-naming on i386 package if appropriate.If the leftovers in the package are PAE, the package-names are meant to say so Clear & Loud. Personally I think Linus wouldn't smile, even though if I thought the index-finger to Nvidia was a bit to rough. Personally I think this bug has security-potential.
