I have a 32-bit machine with 8 gigs RAM and was running the PAE kernel,
but after the last update noticed that grub was set to default to the
non-PAE version although both were installed. Does anyone know how boot
default is supposed to be determined?

What should it say so future updates pick the PAE version? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
