CONFIG_X86_PAE=y

pavel@duo:/data/l/linux$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep pae
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic
sep mtrr pge mca cmov clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe
nx constant_tsc arch_perfmon bts aperfmperf pni monitor vmx est tm2
xtpr pdcm dtherm

But it still says:

address sizes : 32 bits physical, 32 bits virtual

I thought pae would be 36bit virtual?

I'm attaching /proc/config.gz..
