[Fedora-xen] Re: Heads-up: Requiring PAE for running Xen

[Eyal Traitel]

While I understand the development pain, I think it's important to note my
case - I currently use Xen in production service (for Wiki server) with an
old Dual PIII. I understand that this will imply that on this specific h/w I
will have to stay with the current kernel versions, right?

Eyal.

Sadly, not the case..
Celerons, and some Pentium-M's (as Jeremy noted above) are
P6 class, yet lack PAE.
