Even though "with/without pae" is an "option" it is hard-coded for i686/i386 architectures in the kernel.spec file (see kernel.spec line 221 onwards). To change this, *every* time I compile a kernel for i686 arch I do the following: vi kernel.spec, then search for "with_pae 1" (line 223) and replace it with "with_pae 0". Very ugly hack and it shouldn't be that way, but it is not the first time things like this are propping up with the kernel. Hope this helps! _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
