[plug] re: kernel -smp conflict

[Jon Miller]

In conjuction to the previous question, there is one question I've been
meaning to ask. Since I have both kernels (kernel-smp and standard
kernel) which should I be loading (smp or non-smp). Also since I made
the rpm while the kernel-smp was loaded can I assume that if I load only
the standard kernel and create the rpm again that maybe it'll create a
rpm for the regular kernel?  Just grasping at straws here.

Thanks
