a. Yes, we can install a system with a non-pae kernel in a computer with a PAE CPU. (I have done it many times.) Or do you mean the opposite? To install a system with a pae kernel in a computer with a non-pae PAE CPU. Pentium M and Celeron M have PAE capability but no PAE flag. They work with fake-pae and forcepae. Old CPUs without PAE capability are actually hard to find nowadays, and are usually too weak for a modern linux system anyway. Maybe DSL may work or a simple text base debian system. Anyway non-pae CPUs need non-pae operating systems. I can also run Phill's non-pae kernel in my Toshiba with Intel i5 (which has 64-bit architecture). I have made installations with two kernels, the default 'generic pae' and the non-pae kernel. Both work, but the non-pae kernel cannot use RAM above 2 GB as efficiently as PAE (of course). But UEFI demands 64-bit systems. b. Yes, you get it by default in Ubuntu based systems. If you have only a non-pae kernel you can install the current PAE kernel with sudo apt-get install linux-generic-pae probably even sudo apt-get install linux-generic will install it. Try it yourself :-) If I remember correctly, it is one of the menu alternatives in http://phillw.net/isos/linux-tools/9w/obi_Trusty-nonpae-txt5-9w.iso Best regards Nio -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~torios Post to : torios@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~torios More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
