I'm attaching a patch for DistUpgradeQuirks.py that aborts the upgrade if the pae flag is not in /proc/cpuinfo (the same check as used by the kernel package on install). It would be a good idea to release this fix before the 14.04 LTS is released in order to save thousands of people from ending up with a broken system when they try to upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS
