I have since discovered a couple of other people who have the same problem...all on machines using older (circa 2002) Intel boards and cpu's.(...) Then you better disable HT and use a "non-pae" kernel until someone can provide more data on why/how the error is triggered. What happens with a pae kernel of another distribution? Or with an own-complied kernel? Are you experiencing the same? If "no", this can be a start point to further debug the problem. If "yes"... well, time to upgrade that motherboard or live with a 486 kernel O:-)
this is /proc/cpuinfo with hyper-threading disabled..as you can see PAE is still exposed and the PAE kernel boots fine.
