@Luiz: The headers are in the linux-headers-generic-pae package and should be replaced with linux-headers-generic package. Not sure why they are needed at all though, but I assume there is a good reason or they wouldn't have been there.
I didn't do the uncompress/recompress of initrd. I wonder if that's why your image is smaller than mine. Somebody claimed that non-pae was faster or more power saving than pae on computers that can run both (and have less than 4 GB of RAM). From what I've seen, it's the contrary: using pae when available is insignificantly faster or no difference for most workloads, but I don't think there have been enough testing across different hardware (e g non- intel processors) to give a serious verdict either way. And a final note. I said that whether to completely drop the non-pae kernel for 12.10 was to be decided at UDS next week. It looks like it's already a done deal to do so, judging from this email: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-May/035176.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930447 Title: Unable to Install Ubuntu 12.04 on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to PAE kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
