Unless we keep the non-PAE i586 kernel around as a fallback, we're not
going to be able to boot on a whole raft of crappy i386 chips (original
Pentium M most notably...)
I'm not suggesting dropping non-PAE. Simply defaulting to PAE where
possible.
Are Pentium Ms (really the memory that comes with them) actually capable
of running recent Fedoras? I'm talking desktop, not
I'm-using-my-laptop-as-a-firewall-just-because-I-can.
