[2008-05-31 14:22]: I've just installed 11.0 RC1 on an old Pentium II with 384Mb RAM. The installer chose to install an SMP+PAE kernel, which I find pretty unusual? Any thoughts on why?
Because your processor *has* PAE. PAE is not only more than 4 GiB physical address space but also the "no execute" bit. The "default" kernel is also SMP (since openSUSE 10.2, IIRC) because there's no "smp" kernel. I bet that you didn't notice any difference between "default" and "pae".
No, not really. I was just surprised to see it, as I'm only used to seeing it on my machines with large amounts of memory. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
