Hello,
I am testing cobbler (http://cobbler.et.redhat.com) for automated kickstarting of FC5/FC6 domUs on my current host with uses a dom0 build with XEN_TARGET_X86_PAE=y as it has >4GB memory. While I found 'various' Fedora - PAE kernels they all seem to be for 64bit/PAE systems, or maybe I missed one.
I need something that can run on a 32bit/PAE host and boot via PXE; I could use a non-Fedora kernel, but I don't like the idea of messing in the OS's guts.
- Is there an officially supported kernel? - Is there an not-supported but current and tested kernel?
I don't know if it's possible, but using names like x86_32 and x86_32p might make things a bit easier.
(I would have searched list archives, but there are none, so I only skimmed over the last few months emails and didn't see anything helpful)
Regards, Florian

Look under the i386 architecture on the Fedora download sites

In Fedora Core 5, the i686 kernels (kernel-xen0 kernel-xenU) were non-PAE. We later pushed an errata (kernel-xen) which *is* PAE.
In Fedora Core 6, all kernels are PAE - we no longer support non-PAE
- Is there an not-supported but current and tested kernel?
The FC6 kernel is in the 'kernel-xen' RPM here:

The FC5 errata kernel is 'kernel-xen' RPM here:
