Hi, I just run into the same problem while rebooting a fresh install of 8.04 LTS i386 on VMWare Server 1.0.4. This is not only a "me too", but as there seems to be a lot of activity in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/23343 and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/31405 but no response or action here, I'm asking to re-evaluate this report.
I think, that debian-installer should be fixed, either by installing 1 fitting kernel or 2 kernels (optimised and safe). Additionaly there is no hint during the installation, that a special kind of hardware is required! I added the affection of debian-installer as already said in a comment before. ** Also affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- PANIC: CPU too old for this kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151942 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
