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...

Jay, he uses CentOS 5.9! not 6.x.
