You are not alone ... I screwed up my kernel too. {And I build this
stuff :)}

Their logic (silly as it is) is that there is no such thing as a non-SMP
kernel for ia32e (since it has hyperthreading) ... SO ... no need for an
ia32e SMP and non-SMP kernel.  So, for a reason that I am not possibly
able to understand, they decided that the ia32e kernel would be compiled
with SMP and not be labeled as SMP.

go figure :)
