RHEL 6 requires PAE support for 32-bit x86 chips.

Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.

Comment 3 Bart-Jan Vrielink 2010-05-05 21:22:36 UTC

And where in the Release Notes should I have found this information?

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2010-05-06 16:34:37 UTC

I've added the bits to this bug for the documentation group to pick that change up for future beta version of the release notes.
