Description of problem: The kernel installed on a Vaio S1XP laptop does not boot, because the CPU has no PAE support. Perhaps anaconda should check whether the CPU has this support before offering Xen as an option? After I saw the message I vaguely remembered a discussion of this on one of the mailing lists, but couldn't remember how it was resolved. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot laptop 2. 3. Actual results: Kernel panics with a message about not being able to boot a PAE kernel on a non-PAE CPU. Expected results: Kernel boots Additional info: The CPU is a Pentium M 1.7GHz I have filed the bug against kernel-xen for the moment, though as I indicated earlier, either this problem should be alluded to in the release notes (which were blank) or anaconda should refuse to install Xen on such hardware.

anaconda doesn't allow you to install Xen on pae-less hardware now
