I first installed Alpine 3.10 with no issues, then upgraded to 3.12 when it was available. Rock solid on 3.12 since 2020. Yesterday, being bored, I decided to make a change and upgrade to the latest version (3.18). That was a mistake. After the upgrade and subsequent reboot, I got the "This kernel requires the following features" error listing "pae" as the culprit. I downloaded the x86 ISO for Alpine 3.17 extended and installed that and it worked again. Then, since I was already blasting away OS versions, I figured what the hell and upgraded to edge and then rebooted. Same error. What happened between 3.17 and 3.18/edge that this error is now prevalent? Is there something I can do to remediate this, or am I stuck at 3.17 for the foreseeable future? FYI - The current version on the laptop is now at 3.17.3 and it is working fine. alice@ayaya.dev pointed this out as the possible culprit: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/commit/ea95865daefe76f6fa92806f747e98e829320d32

I have reverted the change for the linux-lts kernel in -edge. https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/commit/e81a0ff4246ffa3cc57dca06225c83fecafcfc5a I wonder if you could try upgrade from 3.17 -> edge? Once you confirm that it works I'll backport the change to 3.18-stable, and maybe tag a new release. -nc
