What about backward compatibility ? If I understand the PAE help text correctly, a PAE enabled kernel will not boot on a processor which doesn't support PAE, like my Crusoe:
processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineTMx86 cpu family : 6 model : 4 model name : Transmeta(tm) Crusoe(tm) Processor TM5600 stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 595.597 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr cx8 cmov mmx longrun bogomips : 1167.36
