(not strictly related to the kernel, but...)
What's the expectation here with respect to which kernel anaconda is going to
pick for which hardware features? I ask because we have an outstanding bug
where anaconda picks the wrong kernel during a Xen install (it picks kernel.i686
which doesn't have pv_ops, when it should pick kernel-PAE.i686 which does).
Currently, anaconda only choose kernel-PAE for machines that both have the PAE
flag, and have memory mapped > 4GB. Do we know if anaconda is going to change
to choose kernel-PAE for any machine with the PAE flag, regardless of the amount
of memory?
