2.6.12 kernel released Posted Jun 20, 2005 15:00 UTC (Mon) by Ross (subscriber, #4065) [Link] That's not how I read the summary you link to. I may be wrong but I thinkit is saying that the ia32 NX support is based on the x86_64 NX support except it only works when using PAE. That doesn't mean that the x86_64 mode only works with PAE enabled. Other ia32 NX patches exist which don't depend on PAE but they use ugly segmenting tricks and only work for certain memory layouts.
