I went to koji and looked at the latest kernels for f27 and f28. The
f27 kernels all have PAE available, but the f28 kernels don't. I think
I vaguely recall seeing a note that pae was going to stop being built in
f28. You could always build it from the src.rpm by enabling PAE in the
spec file before you build. There's a switch for it, so it is easy,
just change the value from 0 to 1.
Can you explain why my TP x121e got a newer PAE kernel?
From my /var/log/dnf.rpm.log-20180723:
2018-07-23T06:11:27Z INFO Installed: kernel-PAE-4.17.7-100.fc27.i686
