No, it shouldn`t.

If booted via syslinux and adding forcepae as a bootparam, it should boot - regardless if being botted via grub 16-bit mode or via syslinux or whatever.

could you please re-check if you typed it correctly?

does your method of creating a bootable iso really use the kernel from the recent cd-image, or maybe there`s an older kernel in place?

if that fails for you and if you are that your cpu does have pae, please post the contents of /proc/cpuinfo.

you may attach an usb cd-rom to your r51 and try to directly boot from that.

i´m curious what`s going wrong here.
