It is also possible that you have both kernels in your boot but you're selecting the non-SMP boot.  Either way, it's probably a kernel issue that's easily fixed.

Unfortunately, the only kernels available for me to download from RHN are:

	kernel-PAE-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5
	kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5
	kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5
	kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5

...as I thought about your suggestion initially.  I've thought about possibly looking to rpmfind.net for this particular kernel, but will go about that later on this morning or sometime this weekend.  I don't need this now, but the extra processing power would be nice when spending a rainy weekend compiling those 1,000,000 or so lines of code that Firefox has :P
