package linux-image-3.5.0-23-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

It says kernal does not support a non-PAE cpu. I am trying to do a distribution upgrade to 12.10 from 12.04 on an older HP laptop NC-8000 with Pentium M.
