Kernel requires features not present on the CPU: PAE
Hello to all forum members! I am trying to use True Image 2013 on my Thinkpad T42p. It installed OK but when I tried to boot to clone to a formatted 80Gb HD the program says "Kernel requires features not present on the CPU: PAE" and will not proceed. Has anyone any idea what this is and how to fix it?
IBM T42p 2374-CP5, INTEL Pentium M 2.1Ghz, 2GbRAM, XP SP3
Any help would be apreciated.

Thank you James ..... unfortunatly your answer is correct. I checked the version of my CPU and indeed it is a 400MHz :-( So the only option is either a CPU swap or other SW. Thanks again for your help .... Guess you can close this post.

You can try a bootable media of older version, like 2011 if the support can provide you with it, or try to get a Plus Pack and build WinPE-based bootable media.

I've had the same issue with True Image 2014 on my old Medion Notebook. If you have access to it, try True Image 2010 worked pretty well in my case. By the way in normal Linux Distros you can add the boot option "forcepae" it isn't really helpful here, because you can't access the boot options of True Image as far as i know, but that solve the problem in most of the cases (is just a workaround).
Best Regards
