Not sure how much not 64 bit capable HW nowadays would be affected. Even Intel Atoms seem to support pae, so this is not really an option.
intel atoms are even x64 (at least the one sample I have ;-) But pentium M (Banias, Dothan) are not. And they don't support pae (this is why the current x86 desktop kernel does not work on them).
Hm, given the fact that i386 shouldn't get installed often, maybe it's just not worth touching this. Removing -pae kernel and favor -desktop flavour instead, shouldn't be a big deal and reduce some kotd ftp and building overhead?
Probably a good idea: just drop either the -pae or the -desktop kernel for x86. -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
