It is _way_ better when you only have one kernel, I preffer very much having one kernel and have to implement the noapic option that having 2 kernels that only differ on that. People are thinking on apic just now, but look, with you option, you not only need two kernels, you need: linux-noapic linux-nobiospnp linux-noauto linux-noapic-nobiospnp linux-noapic-noauto linux-nobiospnp-noapic linux-nobiospnp-noapic-noauto .... And you have only select 2 random vars, now put that you need that in: BOOT kernel UP kernel SMP kernel ENTERPRISE kernel and you will found that easily you need in a short time 1DVD only for kernels if you follow that route.
