This was a surprise. I have hit several problems with Ubuntu of late - mostly related to the underdeveloped open source NVIDIA drivers - but to see 12.04 not even boot from the CD on my Dell 8600 Laptop is just pathetic. I am downloading Luiz's image now and will try that (rumor has it I can get the proprietary NVIDIA drivers back, which appear to be the only things that work for me).
Should that image not work, though, I am afraid I may have made my last Ubuntu installation. Don't ask me what I will move to, but the issues are piling up. You cannot discard support for perfectly good machines like this. If you do, I suspect a lot of the community will move on. Don't go there. -- 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 start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux 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
