On my Intel system (Xeon with EMT64 support) which runs the 32-bit

NX (Execute Disable) protection: active

On my other system, a AMD64 system running the 64-bit version of FC4,
there is no message regarding NX support being enabled of disabled at
all.

Both systems run kernel 2.6.16.

Hi Jurgen,

I checked my AMD64 system (running the 64 bit FC5).
dmesg shows no nx or pae (dmesg | grep -i nx). So apparently, whether supported or not, it is not reported....

Guus.
