It would be really helpful if you'd tell us which processor it exactly is.

Yes, there are 2 different 32bit kernels: "kernel" and "kernel-PAE".

The "kernel-PAE" requires the CPU to support "pae", while the "kernel" 
should be able to run without. A CPU w/o pae-support would be 
incompatible to the pae-enabled kernel.

I am not sure, but IIRC, Socket 478-era processor all were 32bit and did 
not support pae.
