How to run patched PAE kernels on Banias series Pentium M
How to run patched PAE kernels on Banias series Pentium M
Don't know why I never tried this before but just did for the first time and it worked. The pre-Dothan Pentium Ms actually have PAE capability but the PAE flag is not set so PAE pups will not boot on them. Including the kernel parameter forcepae got Saucy Salamander CE, a PAE kernel, up and running for me. There is a forcepae patch which must be enabled in the kernel in Saucy as it worked. My menu.lst item below as an example. It's only applicable to this class of processors and to patched kernels but seems to work and there are quite a few of the older Pentium Ms out there. Give it a try if you're a Pentium M type and haven't.

Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.
Aren't Dothans post-Banias?

Correct! I flipped the two names. Will attempt to edit my post. My CPUs are mostly Banias, with a Dothan in a Dell Latitude of roughly the same age. Sorry.Keef wrote:Aren't Dothans post-Banias?
