Bug Description
Downloaded 12.04 Desktop 32-bit to my Dell Inspiron 8600 running Windows XP.
The ISO was burned to a CD. Then rebooting the Ubuntu boot sequence would
report it was unable to load kernel as CPU did not have PAE supportr. This is
preventing me from getting to the menu of choices. 11.10 was able to get far
enough to display the menu.
If 12.04 will not run on this particular desktop, there should be a better documentaiton
on which kinds of Pentium hardware are supported by 12.04 LTS.
