Fedora xen - Nov 2006 - 32bit PAE capable kernel

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

The FC6 kernel is in the ''kernel-xen'' RPM here:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/

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