Thanks eric.
I cannot judge which is better, though.
Are there any problems using 'sources' pc kernel, anyone?
Please put those notes on the top page of your atom site.
Your pcpae kernel has never problems here so far.
However, I wonder whether I need so much memory
in my Plan9.☺ My machine has only 4GB memory though.
How about libaml, libfis?
Why they are added? Or splitted from what?

yes, the 9atom pc kernel doesn't support SSE. this is on purpose.
i thought support for multiple types of floating point in the same
kernel was not ideal. and since i think of the pc kernel as there
mostly to support quite old hardware without sse support, and
really new and tiny hardware (also likely with funny floating point),
i thought it would work to just support sse in the PAE kernel.
pae isn't newfangled. it was supported, iirc, by the ppro.
