Okay, here's the story: In package base-installer, there is a script "kernel/i386.sh" that detects which kernel should be used based on a variety of factors, including CPU attributes. This detection is imperfect, and (while it worked in your case, MG), it does not override the -server kernel choice on some boards that do not support PAE (like the Luke CoreFusion CPU on the EK, apparently). That is how the same software version results in a non-booting system on an EK, but works fine on some other boards with CPUs that do not support PAE and/or CMOV.
I've been told that PAE detection will likely be implemented for Intrepid. That should resolve most of the remaining CPU compatibility issues. -Forest -- Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha-3 Intrepid Ibex - Via C3 CPU not Supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254453 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
