The easiest workaround is to use the alternate desktop install cd and choose the "Install only CLI" (something like that) when you boot it up. That will give you the same as a server install, but with a kernel that will work on that laptop. The alternative is to use the server CD and install the generic kernel from the command prompt in there, but it's somewhat more involved. In case you're interested, "0:6" is PAE. The vast majority of machines support it, but a few don't, and you appear to be among the unlucky few. I have it on my todo-list to add code to the kernel selection routines in the installer to detect presence/absence of PAE and choose a kernel based on that. In any case, that fix will not help you to install hardy. -- Soren Hansen | Virtualisation specialist | Ubuntu Server Team Canonical Ltd. | http://www.ubuntu.com/
