Recently, @Shinobar proposed and presented a resolution (patch) that exposes the PAE feature so that both PAE and non-PAE PUP distros will boot on capable Pentium Ms.01Micko wrote:Please note that Intel Pentium M processors with a 400Mhz FSB (see glossary) do not run the PAE version. These were marketed around 2005 as "Centrino".
Is there any chance that there is an ISO built with the PATCH so that this could be tested. Further, an ISO like this would allow members who have Pentium Ms who, indeed, have PAE boot issues to report impact results of patch's use.
Each of my Pentium Ms boot without the need for the patch. If there is, somewhere, a PAE ISO with the patch, I volunteer to boot my Pentium Ms AND report what happens when booting without the kernel parm as well as what happens booting with the kernel parm on my Pentium Ms. This would present an impact report of the patch on systems which already have the hardware feature in the CPU.
Anyone with knowledge of such a PUP distro, please post.
