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)
