For anyone who thinks this isn't a problem for normal users:

"I mistakenly upgraded to 12.10 in my t42 without realizing the pae/non-pae kernel conflict. now my system is kind of broken. i can not install you .dep package because the package manager breaks when loading. anything i do with apt-get update etc give me 'this kernel does not support non-pae' errors." - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2113826&p=12545335#post12545335

"This worked perfectly for me on an old Toshiba with a Pentium M processor. I had also mistakenly upgraded to 12.10 before installing the fake-pae package." - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2113826&p=12551097#post12551097
