    essentially the same CPU

    obviously not, if one (but not the other) is capble of fully utilizing the non-PAE kernel

    error message which scrolled past before I could copy it
    but it was something about initrd not being able to handle ram.

    Yeppers, it if booted slow, we would complain. I suppose that’s why they invented logfiles
    /var/log/live/initrd.log
    /var/log/live/live-init.log

    I was under the impression that I had upgraded both systems

    Yeah, confusingly, the developers intend the reported O/S namestring from
    cat /etc/lsb-release
    to reflect “what version ORIGINALLY was installed”
    and
    even more generic are the details contained in /etc/lsb-release
    so, when performing an examinatorization…
    what “I find on examination” will depend on where/how you look

    What prompted me to compare the two was a significant difference between behaviour of my password manager KeepassXC.

    I would “apt show keepassxc” on both machines to verify that an identical version is installed.
    If not, visit
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
    and check which repository sources are configured for each of the machines
    (toward understanding how/why differing keepassxc versions are present)
