Posted this to ~alpine/users but looks like the culprit may be a kernel update

Hello,

I have a Kohjinsha SA1F00A UMPC (from 2007!) with the following specs:
AMD Geode LX800 @ 550 MHz
1 GB RAM (not upgradable)
30 GB HD


It formerly had Windows 95 on it, but obviously that wasn't going to 
last, so I chose Alpine because of its long history with older 
hardware.  I first installed Alpine 3.10 with no issues, then upgraded 
to 3.12 when it was available.

Rock solid on 3.12 since 2020.


Yesterday, being bored, I decided to make a change and upgrade to the 
latest version (3.18).  That was a mistake.

After the upgrade and subsequent reboot, I got the "This kernel requires 
the following features" error listing "pae" as the culprit.


I downloaded the x86 ISO for Alpine 3.17 extended and installed that and 
it worked again. Then, since I was already blasting away OS versions, I 
figured what the hell and upgraded to edge and then rebooted.

Same error.


What happened between 3.17 and 3.18/edge that this error is now 
prevalent? Is there something I can do to remediate this, or am I stuck 
at 3.17 for the foreseeable future?

FYI - The current version on the laptop is now at 3.17.3 and it is working fine.
