Hi Chris,

1. It is not my computer. I have one with a very similar Pentium M CPU which works with forcepae. I have asked the same questions but not yet received a full answer from the owner. I will ask again ...

2. Thanks for finding the difference between the cpuid flags "a7e9fbbf" and "afe9fbbf" (a7,af). The wiki page is corrected now.

3. In post #279 you told us about Will Haley's instructions to make a syslinux system. Starting from those instructions I made a system that can install an Ubuntu minimal text screen system with a non-pae kernel compiled by Phill Whiteside. This is described in the following link

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/9w

It is very easy to expand that minimal Ubuntu system into Lubuntu or Xubuntu (or an Ubuntu Server).

If I understand it correctly, Phill intends to maintain the non-pae kernel. Anyway, thanks for the tips about making and keeping a non-pae kernel up to date :-)
