Like I said, this is an old machine. But, this is what cpuinfo tells me:

I have an old server (old hardware) that's been running 6.4 with kernel 2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.i686, no problem. Except, any kernel update after

causes it not to boot anymore. All I get is a blinking cursor on the screen, nothing else.
Do these processors support PAE? All EL kernels now require PAE.
Is this the end of this hardware, no more kernel updates after this?
For reference, these are all the options that kernel is booting up with (lines wrapped on purpose):
