Old IRC log from 2010-07-31:
08:12 <mozmck> When I installed stock 10.04 on this machine I think it downloaded and installed the pae kernel because the machine had 4gig memory.  The CD doesn't have the pae kernel so that must be what it did.
08:14 <jthornton> I can't even pretend to understand what you said LOL
08:15 <jthornton> I think I have 8gig of memory on this one
08:17 <morficmobile> which adds fuel to what he suspects, memory size related automagic not getting you the right kernel
08:18 <morficmobile> mozmck: you can't get rid of this logic for the emc iso?
08:18 <mozmck> I probably can, but I didn't even think about that until now.  I'll have to dig in and see what it's doing.
08:19 <jthornton> mozmck as soon as it installs I'll let you know what kernel it has
08:20 <mozmck> Thanks, that will give us something to start with.  Of course now that we're looking it will all work fine :)
08:35 <jepler> I suspect that it's /usr/share/ubiquity/check-kernels that does it.  I'd try deleting the group of lines below the comment that mentions bug https://launchpad.net/bugs/413135
08:39 <mozmck> thanks jepler.  I'm trying to find ubiquity documentation and it seems more sparse than grass in in the Mojave!
08:44 <jthornton> mozmck the install is done and the kernel is 2.6.32-21-generic and reports that I have 1.9GiB of memory
08:45 <jthornton> and no CNC menu
08:45 <jthornton> do you need me to check anything else before I try jepler's instructions on the wiki?
08:46 <jepler> jthornton: dpkg -l emc2
08:46 <jepler> is the package installed?
08:46 <jthornton> ok
08:47 <jepler> if the installer removed the realtime kernel (instead of just selecting the pae kernel as default) then it will have removed the emc2 package too
08:47 <jepler> if so the emc2-install.sh should download what you need
08:47 <jthornton> unknown option -1
08:48 <jepler> el, not one
08:48 <jthornton> when I tried the emc2-install.sh when it was done it booted to the command prompt
08:48 <jthornton> no packages found matching emc2
