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

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???
After searching for quite some time, I concluded that the info on this returned way too much noise...
Thanks in advance...

If you look carefully I think you will find there is NOT a CentOS/RHEL5 SMP kernel, just one does the whole deal. There is a -PAE kernel that is for more than 4 GB of RAM, but apparently there is no performance penalty with using a single kernel for both SMP an uniprocessor systems.
