ah ha! 

in RHEL3, the "athlon" smp kernel is not PAE enabled, only the "i686"
smp kernel is.... and you're using the athlon kernel afaics.

so what you'd need to do is rpm -e of your existing kernel-smp, and grab
the i686 variant instead of the athlon one and install that...


(so this one extra line has been very useful in diagnosing this :)
