Making Buntu >= 12.10 work on a Pentium M-CPU without PAE.

[mfincken]

So I "think" this is going to work (I have not rebooted yet).. but so far so good:

sudo dpkg --remove linux-image-extra-3.5.0-25-generic
sudo dpkg --remove linux-image-generic
sudo dpkg --remove linux-generic
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:prof7bit/fake-pae
sudo apt-get install fake-pae
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-3.5.0-25-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-generic

...and i should be back to normal operating condition.

thanks for all the help!

This worked perfectly for me on an old Toshiba with a Pentium M processor. I had also mistakenly upgraded to 12.10 before installing the fake-pae package. The only thing I had to change was the update command had to happen before the fake-pae install, like this:

sudo dpkg --remove linux-image-generic
sudo dpkg --remove linux-generic
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:prof7bit/fake-pae
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fake-pae
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-3.5.0-25-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-generic

Thanks for the help! I am now happily running 12.10 with a Pentium M processor.
