I believe that processor does not support PAE, so you are out of luck.

Again, this is a Red Hat decision. The EL6 32-bit kernel is what was a
PAE kernel for EL5. Putting it another way, the EL5 32-bit non-PAE
kernel has been dropped for EL6 and so what would known as a PAE
kernel has had that descriptor removed.
