For 8.04, the 32-bit kernels, among others, are still being pushed
out. IIRC, the i386 server kernel is a PAE one.

The following are in the repositories since June 6:

linux-image-2.6.24-29-386_2.6.24-29.90_i386.deb
linux-image-2.6.24-29-generic_2.6.24-29.90_amd64.deb
linux-image-2.6.24-29-generic_2.6.24-29.90_i386.deb
linux-image-2.6.24-29-openvz_2.6.24-29.90_amd64.deb
linux-image-2.6.24-29-openvz_2.6.24-29.90_i386.deb
linux-image-2.6.24-29-rt_2.6.24-29.90_amd64.deb
linux-image-2.6.24-29-rt_2.6.24-29.90_i386.deb
linux-image-2.6.24-29-server_2.6.24-29.90_amd64.deb
linux-image-2.6.24-29-server_2.6.24-29.90_i386.deb
linux-image-2.6.24-29-virtual_2.6.24-29.90_i386.deb
linux-image-2.6.24-29-xen_2.6.24-29.90_amd64.deb
linux-image-2.6.24-29-xen_2.6.24-29.90_i386.deb

Maybe it's a function of the build system that all these versions are
published as opposed to those that are meant to be LTS ones.
