I have an old Toshiba R100 (non-PAE Pentium M) which has been running 12.04 happily. When I read 14.04 now included the forcepae fix as a boot option I burnt a Lubuntu DVD and gave it a go.
I'm adding the forcepae option and getting the 'warning: forcing pae in cpu' message as you'd expect so I think that's all fine. I then get the Lubuntu 14.04 blue loading screen with dots below followed by two messages,
"starting lightdm display manager"
"stopping send an event to indicate plymouth is up".
Then the screen goes blank and I can hear the dvd drive spin down, additionally ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't give me a tty terminal. I have to power off with the button.
I've tried Xubuntu and Ubuntu as well, Xubuntu does the same, ends with a freeze on a blank screen. Ubuntu gives me the 'running in low graphics mode' dialog, none of the options get me any further though (either another blank freeze or returned to that dialog).
Be glad of any advice,
Thanks.
Here's my lshw output for starters,
