According to Thomas Renninger, any system with a CPU that supports PAE should
support PAE, therefore because the system works correctly with a non-PAE kernel
I am experiencing a "HW/BIOS issue -> won't fix."
I am not qualified to dispute Renninger on this. I can only observe that, for
comparison, Windows XP does not attempt to use PAE mode on this system.
Renninger has marked 417845 as Resolved / Won't Fix, and has been marking
related tickets (similar to this one) as duplicates of 417845.
To answer your question, the BIOS does have a USB Legacy setting (I forget the
exact wording). If I disable it, my USB floppy drive doesn't work.
The issue is basically moot at this point: It looks like future versions of
openSUSE will continue to install PAE kernels on this system. Even if the PAE
kernels didn't break ACPI on this system I would switch back to the default
kernel for its smaller memory footprint.
