To anyone who happens to come here while searching for help with non-pae capable hardware: Note that this bug has the wrong state, it should be "Won't fix" (see Dave Lentz's comment on #1072311: "I agree that Fix Released status for Quantal is a bit confusing (should have been 'Won't Fix').")
I found in a report about the "Ubuntu Technical Board"'s discussion (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTAyNzM) that "Maintaining the extra flavour is not much extra work". So I wonder about the decision to no longer support a non-pae kernel. I spent some time googling for comments on this problem and it seems that it is not just me (and the currently 10 "also affected"). There are quite a lot of people with "older" (some actually less than 5 years) but still fully usable laptops who are affected by this.
As I stated in #1072311, my nc6000 is certainly not the fastest laptop around, but works very well and can still match the demands of a current Linux OS. I do not see why it (and similar) should be left out from new features coming with versions beyond 12.04.
