| From: Michael A. Peters <mpeters@xxxxxxx> | If I'm not mistaken, some older via chipsets will result in kernel panic if | booting a PAE kernel, which is why PAE is not default. I thought that "everything" mainstream supported PAE from the Pentium Pro on. That turns out not to be the case. Intel exception: the original Pentium M and variantsdid not. AMD didn't support PAE until the Athlon (my AMD K6 has no PAE; my Athlon XP has PAE). VIA didn't support PAE until the C7.
