kickstart installs UP kernel on SMP machines



Hi!
I've gotten my cluster of 32 Dell machines up and running finally, but one of the scientists pointed out to me today that the stupid things are all running kernel-2.4.20-20.9, not kernel-smp-2.4.20-20.9. I installed the correct kernel (and learned the hard way that, much like the human apendix, the grub.conf file in /etc doesn't do anything-- the one in /boot/grub is the real one) and restarted and now all my dual-CPU machines show four CPUs (thank you, Intel, for hyperthreading: the most useless marketing ploy since white-walled tires). Why would the kickstart process install the wrong kernel? Is that a ks.cfg option? and if so, why?!?


Thanks,

-Tim
