mini.iso, pae version, booted O.K. on my IBM Thinkpad T40 which does not
have the pae flag. To do this, I added the following to the file
/etc/grub.d/40_custom being careful to leave what was already in the
file
menuentry "pangolin mini" {
set isofile="/boot/iso/minipae.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile
linux (loop)/linux boot=/ iso-scan/filename=$isofile noprompt noeject
initrd (loop)/initrd.gz
}
As you see above, I have the .iso in a folder /boot/iso. Your option.
sudo update-grub and reboot the mini.
mini booted O.K. directly from the hard drive, no problem with the
missing flag.
As it installed, messages were 3.2.0-15-generic-pae however after
booting it up O.K. the boot and /proc/version is 3.2.0.15-generic which
is running fine.
Well, I'm used to a whole lubuntu (or unity) setup so there's a lot
missing.
What's running on the T40 now is (Lucid Lynx of course), three precise
pangolins:
One updated from Oneiric, non-pae
One new install from 20120207 which is generic-pae not supposed to run
but does. My opinion, the test for the flag is missing/doesn't work so
it goes on and boots and runs O.K.
One mini install from the pae mini but did result in non-pae generic. A
whole lot of accesories & tools missing but did just get synaptic and
even firefox up and running.
Oh, they're all lubuntu's. I've got unity on other test pc's.
Having fun,
Jerry
