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!
Thanx! Will try.
