Server kernel is configured with PAE support (i.e. > 4GB support). Not
all CPU's support this (Mostly laptops that don't...)

Just about nobody needs it anyway, even on a "server", it makes things
slower if you don't need > 4GB of ram (And anyone with > 4GB should get
a 64-bit platform anyway ;) )

In any case, the installer should check for support for this bit
(/proc/cpuinfo ;) ) and install a non-PAE kernel by default if it isn't
supported. Preferably leave PAE for -bigiron where someone might
actually need it ;)
