As far as I know, the solution proposed in the thread is not suitable for everyone, because it sets the pae flag for every CPU, even the ones which not supported pae.
The proper fix, if those CPU effectively support pae (which I'm not very sure, regarding the speed issues reported some time on the thread), is to report a bug on the kernel, so it can set properly the pae flag itself.
