    Brett, I think your best bet would be to install 4.8 on one of the
    machines, CVSup it to the 4.8 security branch, then upgrade all of
    the machines from that one or build a distribution set on that one
    to do the installs from. That way you'll get the security fixes
    without the PAE instability.

    Best of luck, and let us know what worked out for you.
