The SMP featutes of the kernel can introduce bugs that only affect uni-processor
machines (the serial port driver had one awhile back that could hang a
uni-box).  I believe this is also my RH and other distro's ship with both a Uni
and SMP kernel, and theoretically the uni-processor kernel is more stable on a
uni-processor box than an SMP enabled kernel.  Thus it's always best to test
something with SMP enabled, even if you don't "really" have SMP.
