Comment 158 for bug 930447

fake-pae. That the single most awesome comment so far ;) It's a workaround, to work around an issue with the CPU. While without special whitelists.

I personally think, the CPU supports PAE just fine, but it was 'experimental' maybe at the time or a 'luxury' function so the CPU simple didn't advertise it.

Anyhow, while this fake-pae bit sounds like it's 'the' solution once the system is running; We still need sys-linux to play well. So this bug report is still relevant to that regard.
