I'm getting this build failure when attempting to build a Liquorix 2.6.39 kernel with PAE (bigmem) enabled:
:: Code ::
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CC      arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s
In file included from include/linux/suspend.h:8:0,
                 from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c:12:
include/linux/mm.h:634:2: error: #error SECTIONS_WIDTH+NODES_WIDTH+ZONES_WIDTH > BITS_PER_LONG - NR_PAGEFLAGS
make[3]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1

2.6.39 vanilla builds fine with PAE enabled. Any clues for me?

Apparently this is a known issue: since 2.6.37, building 32 bit kernels with support for PAE (more than 4Gb RAM) is broken using the Zen kernel source.

default debian 32 bit kernel now only uses pae, in Sid, not sure about testing. So if that's all you need, just use the debian kernel.

smxi had to adjust to that, since they changed the package name and added to the debian-686-pae. From what I see, there is now no non pae 32 bit kernel in debian.
