I think anaconda on F11 would recognize and install PAE kernel but OP
has continually upgraded from F8 through to F11 and that probably is why
he didn't automatically get the PAE kernel installed.
I also upgraded one of my systems all the way from F8 to F11. It only
has 512 MB of RAM and PAE was installed.
