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.
Well, I was wrong. Is not "pae" but "ht" flag what you are looking here :-)
Also, check that you have ACPI enabled in the BIOS.
