Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-10
Severity: important

The change from linux-image-2.6.18-3-xen-686 to linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686
of enabling PAE prevents operation on Pentium-M systems and other 686 machines
that lack PAE.

The number of 686 class machines with >4G of RAM is extremely small, I expect
that they are significantly outnumbered by the non-PAE 686 machines.

Also for machines that support PAE a change to the Linux kernel in this
regard requires a matching change to the Xen hypervisor which makes
backward compatability difficult.
