Steven,

Running a PAE kernel and capable of running a PAE kernel are a couple
of different things. I'd honestly be surpised if that CPU wasn't
capable of running a PAE kernel. Are you able to run the command "grep
pae /proc/cpuinfo" to see if it is capable of running a PAE kernel? If
you get any output please paste it back if you're not sure what it
means.
