Bug#424759: linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686: Please build both PAE and non-PAE kernels for Xen



Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2
Severity: normal

Using PAE kernels and hypervisor is required for big virtualizing servers. But non-PAE
kernels are also required by developers, students and other people who use Xen on their
desktop boxes to do OS research, multiplatform development and so on. Providing only
PAE kernel disables the ability to run at least NetBSD and OpenSolaris, may be some
other OSes too.

Please, build also the non-PAE kernels in the future.

Thanx.
