On a Compaq DL360 G1 w/ dual PIII 1.27's I installed Centos 5 minimal and then a yum update
When I do a "uname -a" I get this

When I do a rpm -qa | grep kern* I get this
kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 kernel-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 kernel-headers-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5
It is interesting that I did have this issue with my first Compaq DL380 load with slightly faster dual PIII's
Centos 4 always found both processors automatically...
hmmmmm, now... what part of my brains have done fell out my ears that I am not seeing the obvious solution on this one???
I don't see anything wrong with your kernel. The kernel version matches between the uname output and the kernel rpm. Apparently CentOS 5 found both processors (SMP in uname). Because a single kernel takes care of both smp and non-smp in CentOS 5, you cannot tell by the kernel package name, but if in doubt, do a 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'.
