in recent RHEL (haven't investigated Fedora, but it may be the same)
RH is providing ONLY the PAT kernel, which means of course, your
CPU must support PAT. I suppose it's possible that a 6 year-old
P4 may not.

I'm running a newer AMD processor here, so this may not apply to
your CPU, but when I do "cat /proc/cpuinfo" I get (among other things)
this output:

flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt pdpe1gb rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow constant_tsc nonstop_tsc pni cx16 popcnt lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8legacy abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw ibs skinit wdt ts ttp tm stc 100mhzsteps hwpstate [8]

which lists pae near the start of the list. I'd suspect you could tell
whether your P4 supports it or not by doing the same.
