From what I understand, Anaconda has to install the kernel version it
booted, and that therefore, a PAE kernel is not installed by Anaconda
unless you do a custom respin.
Historically that has not been the case. Originally, it ran with a
specially-built I386 kernel, but chose a 586 or 686 (or briefly an AMD)
kernel, +SMP if appropriate.
The kernels did have to be the same release.
I believe that in RHEL Anaconda installs more than one kernel (I use
-clone and that's one area they differ) if one chooses the VT stuff.
