In this tutorial we will proceed to enable PAE on Backtrack5 R2. We first prepare our kernel and enter the kernel menuconfig.
root@bt:~# prepare-kernel-sources root@bt:/usr/src/linux# zcat /proc/config.gz > .config root@bt:/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig

After we have launched the ncurses menuconfig we proceed in enabling PAE which can be found at the following: Processor type and features

Once we have enabled PAE from the menuconfig we proceed into building our kernel.
root@bt:/usr/src/linux# root@bt:/usr/src/linux# root@bt:/usr/src/linux# root@bt:/usr/src/linux# root@bt:~# update-grub2 make scripts make prepare make update-initramfs -u

We than reboot and check to see if PAE is enabled. (Adjust the path to your running kernel)
root@bt:~# cat /boot/config-3.2.6 | grep HIGHMEM</span # CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
