Patches have been floated on the mailing list that revert PAE in its various stages. Maybe those need to be brought back up. Silby? Tor?

I believe that Tor's commit on August 30th resolved the PAE-related problems, so there is no need for a reversion. Since that time, I've seen three panics posted:
1. Some netinet/ related panic which I couldn't make heads or tails of, and I haven't any followup reports from the poster.
2. Maxim's buildworld -j64 memory kmap entry exhaustion panic, which can be fixed by increasing the number of kmap entries. (Tor has a patch for this, I will probably commit it soon.)
3. A panic caused by sending 64K-1 ping packets, which I can't reproduce.
(There's also a small problem with if_xl on pentium-1 machines, but since it's my fault and I'm waiting on test results from a guy, we won't talk about it.)
(Hey, anyone have a pentium-200 and a 3com 905B card? Contact me, further testing can't hurt.)
So, as far as I can tell, there are no remaining problems related to PAE; I believe that most people are venting frustration that built up between August 9th and 30th.

Ok, thanks for the update. Since it is 17 days after Aug 30 and people are still upset, the status was very unclear to the Release Engineering Team. So I guess we ened to solicit updates from the people who were directly experiencing problems, and ask for everyone else to test it as much as possible.
