No, that's exactly what happens. It examines the CPU feature set and gives up if features aren't available.
In the case of PAE, it is because PAE requires 3 level page tables and non-PAE requires 2 level page tables. They can't currently coexist. ...
But surely suggesting what you did above that the kernel gives up if the features are not available is a slight exaggeration? :-) If this was the case then for every installation the kernel would need to be compiled in real time to suit the cpu being used. Or is this where modules come into play and are loaded if required? I am not an expert and so am simply asking to be 'heducated' :-) .
In the case of PAE, I believe the change is so basic that you need two entirely different kernels. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
