I've had this since the beginning when I started building kernels from 
source (FC5, I think). Even though "with/without pae" is an "option" it 
is hard-coded for i686/i386 architectures in the kernel.spec file (see 
kernel.spec line 221 onwards). To change this, *every* time I compile a 
kernel for i686 arch I do the following:

vi kernel.spec, then search for "with_pae 1" (line 223) and replace it 
with "with_pae 0". Very ugly hack and it shouldn't be that way, but it 
is not the first time things like this are propping up with the kernel. 
Hope this helps!
