Ubuntu 12.4 (aka Precise) doesn't appear to me to do any auto-detecting. I think that Ubuntu 12.4 installs PAE regardless of the amount of RAM. That's what it did when I upgraded one host from 11.4 (Natty) w/ 2G. Only PAE kernels in my /boot now, where 11.4 had both PAE and non-PAE kernels. Oddly though, my Mythbuntu 12.4 (upgraded from 11.10) backend w/ 512M ram has only the non-PAE kernels. Looks as though at least one downstream distro isn't consistent in this regard. -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
