Bug#591836: linux-image-xen-686: Please add support to PAE

[Eriberto <eriberto@eriberto.pro.br>]

Sorry if it is a mistake of mine...

But I installed the linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-686 now and my 4 GB RAM was showed as 3 GB. Please, see it:

# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          3033       1249       1784          0         64       1007
-/+ buffers/cache:        178       2855
Swap:          499          0        499

So I searched PAE in /boot/config and I don't found it... However, I searched in incorrect config file... I searched in 2.6.32-5-686. Sorry... But I am running linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-686 now and the free command shows 3 GB only. What is the problem?

# uname -a
