i read "experimental" in those links - and i think there are people who dislike installing their operating system in a re-packaged way from a community based, untrusted source. nothing against you, nio, you appear trustworthy - but i`m one of those. if all the community efforts had been put into the kernel fix instead of fake pae or building alternative installation methods , then we would not sit here and discuss. it may be a logical step, that these workaround exist, but it`s always better to adress the root cause instead of tempering with a symptom. it was good work to provide those workarounds, but it would be even better work to integrate the kernel fix from upstream now and help bugging the ubuntu devs to do so. while writing this, i bet the kernel based fix had probably alrady being done if the community workarounds never existed, because while they existed the ubuntu devs could lean back and tell the user: Pentium M? naah, that`s old, watch out for fake-pae and alternative installer disks as a workaround. that probably HELPED a LOT of users but it did not help fixing the root cause, because many users never needed to complain because of that. linux people like tinkering...oh yes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

>as Debian also includes a pae flags check in the 686 kernel package the pae flags check is in the x86 bootcode of the kernel and apparently it depends on the bootloader if it`s being executed or not. only grub2 seems to skips that code which does vga initialization, cpu- checking and other steps like edd ( https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/arch/x86/boot/edd.c?id=e479c8306f898fcdb9b36179071eae6338a17364 ) , which makes all the work pretty pointless. i wonder, why skipping that code is possible at all and nobody complains (besides that silent complain of hpa) for details, see https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/boot/main.c (end of the file) and https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/boot/cpu.c and https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86/boot/cpucheck.c btw - thanks Dimitrijs for the positive response. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

i don`t have the skills for this and i don`t understand, why hpa forwarded discussion to lkml at this early stage, as it is a patch primary meant for the ubuntu kernel to adress an ubuntu specific problem. sure it is not perfect and not the optimal way to proceed, but it is a solution to a problem. we wouldn`t have this problem and we wouldn`t have this patch if there wasn`t the discision to drop support for non-pae kernels. so hopefully the ubuntu kernel maintainers will give a comment on this patch or pick it up to make a version which fulfils kernel code- quality/style or patch-submission requirements. this patch is rather unintrusive and it easily solves a problem for many users. i spend many hours on debugging this issue and developing this patch, so for now please understand that i`m done with it. lkml reference: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=138550884425543&w=2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've been tinkering around a little bit this evening To: kernel-t...@lists.ubuntu.com Cc: "H. Peter Anvin" Subject: [PATCH] - add "fixpae" bootparam to fix/workaround #930447 Hello kernel-team, regarding https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/+bug/930447 , i have developed a simple patch to (hopefully) provide an easy and elegant workaround/fix for the issue. I assume some hundred users (if not some thousand, as entries in bugreports are only the tip of an iceberg) are affected by this issue. Please take a review and feel free to merge. As defaulting to PAE kernels is specific for some distros only, i think this is no patch for mainline (yet). I did not often do patches, nor am i a good programmer - so sorry if the patch or the submission style is not perfect. regards Roland --- This patch adds a kernel bootparam "fixpae". If integrated into the kernel, this should make life more easy, as installation quirks like fake-pae package, upgrade path from ubuntu 12.04 onwards or specially crafted installation media are not needed anymore. Affected users also get a hint that their issue may be workarounded with this param. Just add the bootparam to the kernel commandline and you`re done. fixpae [x86] Workaround for a nasty PAE issue with older CPU`s like Pentium M, as they may report PAE incapability although they support it. This bootparam adds a fake pae entry to the flags section in /proc/cpuinfo and skips the validate_cpu() routine in arch/x86/boot/main.c This is necesssary as major distros nowadays only ship PAE Kernels for x86 and there is no easy workaround. signed-off-by: Roland Kletzing --- diff -uprN linux-source-3.11.0.orig/arch/x86/boot/main.c linux-source-3.11.0/arch/x86/boot/main.c --- linux-source-3.11.0.orig/arch/x86/boot/main.c 2013-09-02 22:46:10.0 +0200 +++ linux-source-3.11.0/arch/x86/boot/main.c2013-11-26 20:56:01.175269235 +0100 @@ -146,9 +146,17 @@ void main(void) /* Make sure we have all the proper CPU support */ if (validate_cpu()) { - puts("Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate " -"for your CPU.\n"); - die(); + if(cmdline_find_option_bool("fixpae")) + puts("fixpae bootparam active.

so here we go: i had some very short conversation with hpa (thank you for that valuable input!) and he is telling, that grub2 bypasses standard linux kernel initialization code . he thinks this is not good at all and wonders, what makes grub2 think it`s smart enough to do so. by piece of luck, grub2 "circumvents" the pae problem with cpu`s not correctly reporting it - and that made it possible to provide installation-quirks like being described on the ubuntu wiki. from my limited point of view, skipping standard initialization code from the linux kernel does not appear to be smart to me too, because it made finding the real problem so extremly difficult. i guess, if grub2 (and so the kernel) would just behave the standard way, maybe we already would have an appropriate quirk in the linux initialization code, or at least a hint that there are cpu`s which have pae but do not report about - and a kernel param to force skipping the pae check. you can easily verify that hpa is correct - just edit the grub commandline and replace "linux /boot/vmlinzand "initrd /boot/initrd..." with "linux16 /boot/vmlinuz..." and "initrd16 /boot/inititrd..." and - voila, the problem also happens on bootable systems. i think this is stuff for being further discussed on linux-kernel and grub mailing lists... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930447 Title: Unable to start Ubuntu 12.04 live CD with syslinux loader on Pentium M x86 Laptop due to bug in PAE kernel, initramfs or syslinux To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/+bug/930447/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

syslinux CAN check if there is PAE, but it looks that ubuntu makes no use of that. the message comes from the linux kernel, so the kernel checks for PAE and does not find PAE. this is somewhat expected, when the cpu lies about it. but the question is, why booting via grub makes things work. so i`m not sure if syslinux is to blame. think we need to find out how pae detection in linux kernel works and why it passes when booted via grub i found that ubuntu is using an older syslinux version, so i made a bootable usb-stick with a recent syslinux version and directly booted via syslinux.cfg: DEFAULT test LABEL test KERNEL /casper/vmlinuz APPEND initrd=/casper/initrd.lz but the problem remains: SYSLINUX 6.02 EDD 2013-10-13 Copyright (C) 1994-2013 H.
