I am /astonished/ at the poor decision-making of whoever thought that making a 686-only kernel the default was suitable. I am even more concerned that there were no warnings concerning this. This is /extremely/ bad planning and someone richly deserves a slap. The defaults for any computer should be fail-safe: to work, not to tune for performance but fail on some systems. This is an idiotic, beginner-level mistake, and in my several months on this list, I recall no discussion about it. -- Liam Proven · Blog, homepage &c: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] · GMail/Google Talk/Orkut: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AOL/AIM/iChat: [EMAIL PROTECTED] · MSN/Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] · Skype: liamproven · ICQ: 73187508 -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server

A couple of things: [1] Do you not think it might have been wise to actually /mention/ this, in the setup program at the very least? This is a major change in hardware requirements since 5.10 which works fine on the same hardware. [2] Thanks for the tip, but it is just a tip, rather than actual guidance. How do I actually go about changing the kernel of a not-yet-fully installed system? Presumably I must pass some option to the setup program, but pressing the options function key on the boot screen merely shows me the command line that will be executed by GRUB. I see no mention of how to change the kernel to be installed. -- Liam Proven · Blog, homepage &c: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] · GMail/Google Talk/Orkut: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AOL/AIM/iChat: [EMAIL PROTECTED] · MSN/Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] · Skype: liamproven · ICQ: 73187508 -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server
