dmesg | grep NX still gives me nothing. noexec=on did not solve my  
problem. Where does the kernel know from, that my processor supports  
NX? On the one hand, it could know it since it is listed in /poc/ 
cpuinfo, on the other hand i cannot choose my processor as cpu family  
but i have to choose i586/i686.

This would also interest me.If i do make menuconfig there is 1 entry  
for i586, i686 and some more. If i look at .config, there is an  
option for i586, another for i686... does that make a difference?
