As I recall, as of EL6 they no longer ship separate SMP and/or PAE 
kernels for i386.  They're all SMP- and PAE-enabled out-of-the-box.

I just looked in http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/os/i386/Packages/ 
and there is ONLY one kernel package provided.  There are kernel-debug, 
-header, -firmware, -devel and -doc packages, but no -SMP or -PAE packages.

I believe it stated as much in the EL6 release notes, at least for the 
initial release.  But I've slept since then...
