What about the boot option 'forcepae'?

Is it still available, and possible to use in order to make Pentium M and Celeron M run a PAE kernel?

In that case, I think that it should be described in the wiki page that the error text is referring to

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE

instead of (or at least alongside with) the reference to ugrading from 12.04 which is cumbersome and prone to failure.

And is the tip about 'forcepae' still there in the error output? It is quite brief but will help people with some experience understand how to make the computer work. Others may need a more verbose help text (that I think should be in the wiki page).

I saw that you, Brian Murray, edited the wiki page March 3, so I don't want 'hijack' the page, instead I discuss here, what it could and should contain.
