why not  kernel-enterprise-2.4.22.5mdk-1-1mdk.i686

in case the only defference between 2 & 3 is SMP<->UP 
 
why not : 
kernel-enterprise- 
kernel-enterprise-smp 
or even better : 
kernel-enterprise-2.4.22.5mdk-1-1mdk.i686 
kernel-enterprise-smp-2.4.22.5mdk-1-1mdk.i686 
 
as in: 
kernel 
kernel-smp

well Debian seems to have a bit more: 
 kernel-image-2.4.20-3-386_2.4.20-9_i386.deb          
 kernel-image-2.4.20-3-586tsc_2.4.20-9_i386.deb 
 kernel-image-2.4.20-3-686-smp_2.4.20-9_i386.deb   
 kernel-image-2.4.20-3-686_2.4.20-9_i386.deb           
 kernel-image-2.4.20-3-k6_2.4.20-9_i386.deb        
 kernel-image-2.4.20-3-k7-smp_2.4.20-9_i386.deb     
 kernel-image-2.4.20-3-k7_2.4.20-9_i386.deb  
 
and i think they also have p3 & p4 kernels(but couldn't find them now) 
 
the other questions is the HighMem support, 
it seems that Debian & SuSE ship (at least for i386, i never looked for
other archs)
