Hi,<br>
<br>
can you recall at which release we no longer needed to add the force-pae<br>
flag for the 'M' series CPU's.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Hi Phill,<br>
<br>
*non-pae*<br>
<br>
I think that the last version of the Ubuntu flavours with a non-pae kernel is 12.04 LTS (kernel series 3.2). Lubuntu, Xubuntu and mini.iso were available with non-pae kernels (but not standard Ubuntu, and I don't know about the other flavours). 12.10 and later versions have only PAE 32-bit kernels (and 64-bit kernels).<br>

<br>
*fake-pae*<br>
<br>
Fake-pae was used for Lubuntu 13.04 and 13.10. (Remember that Lubuntu 12.04 was supported for 18 months, so it overlapped Raring in time.)<br>
<br>
*forcepae*<br>
<br>
We need no longer use fake-pae (installed via a ppa). Instead we need the boot option forcepae, which was introduced with 14.04 LTS (kernel series 3.13). I have tested forcepae with my IBM Thinkpad T42 (with Pentium M) and it works also with 15.10 and Xenial (to be released as 16.04 LTS).<br>
