[Bug 1422675] Re: No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources

This made the installer start and work until it should get the kernel. Then it stopped with the following message "No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources ... Continue the installation without installing a kernel?" I checked if this is a PAE issue ... and yes, it is. Forcepae makes the installer work, but later on, during installation, it refuses to manage the [PAE] kernel. I tested, and it works in a computer with CPU with a built-in PAE flag. And the trusty mini.iso can install in the same computer with Pentium M, so this is a regression. At 'ctrl+alt+F4' it complains that the kernels found are not usable on 486. But forcepae should allow it. And the same kernels work when installed with the corresponding daily Lubuntu Vivid desktop iso file. -o- This bug is reported from another computer, because I don't know how to report it from the mini.iso system. So you should disregard the collected data, that I might not be able to remove.

I tested the Ubuntu Vivid daily 32-bit mini.iso (dated feb 9) in my IBM Thinkpad T42 with Pentium M, and it works for me too with this double boot option. I clicked tab to get to the boot line. I edited the boot line from > linux vga=788 initrd=initrd.gz -- quiet to > linux vga=788 initrd=initrd.gz forcepae -- quiet forcepae and the installation of a minimal text system worked for me.

[Bug 1422675] Re: No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources
The problem is not PAE, the problem is that the kernel parameters parser was changed as a result of the systemd debug params controversy. You need to repeat the 'forcepae' twice in the linux kernel parameters, before and after the -- i.e.: linux ... forcepae -- forcepae Kernel patch that changed the previous behaviour was: commit 51e158c Author: Rusty Russell Date: Mon Apr 28 11:34:33 2014 +0930 param: hand arguments after -- straight to init The kernel parses parameters from the kernel command line up to "--"; if it doesn't recognize a parameter and it doesn't contain a '.', the parameter gets passed to init: parameters with '=' go into init's environment, others are passed as command line arguments to init. Everything after "--" is passed as an argument to init. With "forcepae -- forcepae" I did a full install of the Vivid ISO link above. It worked ok. (There was a non-related bug, Ubuntu/grub puts "vt.handoff=7" in grub.cfg which causes a black screen on boot - looks like bug #913731 or some related regression). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1422675 Title: No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1422675/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
