Looking for assistance on my problem. I have installed various Linux OS's on various computers. I recently tried converting over an old pc, it is an HP Pavilion a762x desktop computer. It had Windows XP and a 32 bit system. I downloaded the 32 bit Ubuntu, created the startup disk on my 32 GB USB, and tried to install it as I have always done. The USB ports on the Pavilion are 2.0, Ubuntu setup sometimes starts, and I always get the error message "this kernel requires an x86-64 cpu but only detected an i686 cpu". I have done countless hours of various solutions, searching for answers, and trying anything. I have tried to "enable virtualization" in BIOS, however that is not an option on my system. I cannot access any kind of OS because the computer was wiped. I have also tried a 64 bit, even though I know it isn't right, and still receive the exact same result. I hope I have provided enough information and someone out there can help me. Thank you in advance.
