On my Dell Latitude D800 laptop, which has an old Pentium M without PAE support, I was able to successfully install Lubuntu 14.04 from the CD. When I try to upgrade, I get the error:
PAE not enabled
Your system uses a CPU that does not have PAE enabled. Ubuntu only
supports non-PAE systems up to Ubuntu 12.04. To upgrade to a later
version of Ubuntu, you must enable PAE (if this is possible) see:
http://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE
I have seen the Communit Wiki page for PAE. The suggestion is to add forcepae
to the command line options. When I do this, I get the same message. Moreover, dmesg
does not indicate PAE was ever enabled. Is there anything else I can ry to get Lubuntu to upgrade correctly?
