in recent RHEL (haven't investigated Fedora, but it may be the same)
RH is providing ONLY the PAT kernel, which means of course, your
CPU must support PAT. I suppose it's possible that a 6 year-old
P4 may not.

I'm running a newer AMD processor here, so this may not apply to
your CPU, but when I do "cat /proc/cpuinfo" I get (among other things)
this output:

flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt pdpe1gb rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow constant_tsc nonstop_tsc pni cx16 popcnt lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8legacy abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw ibs skinit wdt ts ttp tm stc 100mhzsteps hwpstate [8]

which lists pae near the start of the list. I'd suspect you could tell
whether your P4 supports it or not by doing the same.

pat is in my flags list.

I'm running F17 PAE kernel on a Dell Inspirion 1000 (2ghz Celleron) I've
chosen XFCE as my desktop.  May be your desktop choice is too fat.

F16 doesn't get that far.
On F17, I did choose XFCE.
