Does this mean that an i686 kernel without PAE will still be built (my laptop processor does not have PAE so I am rather interested)? I note that the latest build on Koji has not built an i686 without PAE version, and the comments against kernel.spec revision 1.1639 suggests there won't be a non-PAE kernel. On the other hand, revision 1.1640 references Source31: config-i686, although I don't see that file in CVS.

screwup on my part. it's unnecessary. the non-PAE build is basically just config-x86-generic.

Now there is an i686 kernel available in Rawhide, should doing a yum update update my i586 kernel to the latest i686 version? yum update shows that it will update kernel-firmware.noarch to 2.6.31-0.81.rc3.git4.fc12 and kernel-headers.i686 to 0:2.6.31-0.81.rc3.git4.fc12, but it does not update the kernel package. Indeed, if I try yum install kernel-2.6.31-0.81.rc3.git4.fc12.i686.rpm, yum reports: kernel-2.6.31-0.81.rc3.git4.fc12.i686.rpm: does not update installed package.
