Booted the installer with forcepae

No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources ... Continue the installation without installing a kernel?

I'll check if this is a PAE issue ... and yes, it is.

Forcepae makes the installer work, but later on, during installation, it refuses to manage the [PAE] kernel. I tested, and it works in a computer with CPU with a built-in PAE flag. And the trusty mini.iso can install in the same computer, so this is a regression.

I mark it as a critical bug, because it is critical for computers with Pentium M and Celeron M computers, that have PAE capability but lack PAE flag. But yes, I know, that it does not affect computers with processors that display a PAE flag. I have even tested that is works for such a computer.
