If you currently use kernel-686, you'll be running kernel-586 in F11, so you have 'kmod-foo' to go with it. If you currently use kernel-686-PAE, you'll be running the _same_ thing in F11. The only possible change, is that with anaconda recognising PAE and installing the PAE kernel by default, more people will be running it. So it's just exposing it to more people. I don't see how this is a problem. > said to Prarit that I'd kill off the PAE kernel and find out who > complains about having a 32GB i686 non-x86_64 system around...but that's > just my Friday sense of humo[u]r. PAE also gets you NX support, so it's not just a >4G thing.
