What are the chances GRUB/syslinux could be taught to look at a few special CPU flags (can you fetch the important flags from real mode?) and only present "compatible" (as determined by config arguments, not GRUB/syslinux poking into kernels) boot options? That would help the LiveCD case as well. You could have both 32-PAE and 64 kernels on the CD and choose at boot time, although that would take up a large amount of space (so maybe not feasible for LiveCD).
That would be rather neat. Tricky, but neat.
But our live images are already heavily size-constrained. There's definitely no room for multiple kernels on the KDE live image, and I don't think the GNOME image has any room left either.
