Because PAE is irrellavent in 64bit long mode. PAE only provides pointers for 36bit memory addressing. x64 chips have 40+ bit memory addressing and 64bit pointers and registers.
So, why is there a seperate PAE kernel when it's not needed?
AFIK, there is no 64-bit kernel offering with PAE. The only PAE kernel offered is on 32-bit. Dean -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
