Bug Description
Attempting to upgrade from Precise with a non-PAE kernel will result in a failed upgrade. do-release-upgrade should check whether the user is using a non-PAE kernel and refuse to run, rather than upgrading to a broken system with no installed kernel.
After downloading 1.5GB+ of data and over 1000 new packages, the upgrade will eventually report failure. Looking through the logs there is no kernel installed because of the error "This kernel does not support a non-PAE CPU.":
