So lets say, we get intel to release a microcode update for the Pentium-M, which has been discontinued for years. Lets assume they'd do that. While those could be loaded runtime I suppose, for bootable installation medium, it needs to be patched into the bios. So now you not only have to pray to the intel-gods to release a fix, but all those notebook manufactures aswell, for all Pentium-M modules, for those 3 ubuntu users left. Never gonna happen.

What's the quick and easy fix? Allow pentium-m when checking for PAE.
